In Classical Greece women were almost entirely excluded from public life. Yet the feminine was accorded a central place in religious thought and ritual. The public symbolism of religion included powerful figures like Hera, Artemis and Athene; female worshippers often breached the boundary between public and private space; and both men and women negotiated gendered identities through their performance of ritual. This volume is a lively and colorful exploration of the ways in which religion and ritual reveal women's importance in the Greek 'polis', showing how ideologies about female roles and behavior were both endorsed and challenged in the realm of the sacred.

Archaeologist Connelly gives us the first comprehensive cultural history of priestesses in the ancient Greek world. Connelly presents the fullest picture yet of how priestesses lived and worked, from the most famous and sacred of them--the Delphic Oracle and the priestess of Athena Polias--to basket bearers and handmaidens. Along the way, she challenges long-held beliefs to show that priestesses played far more significant public roles in ancient Greece than previously acknowledged. Connelly examines archaeological evidence in the broader context of literary sources, inscriptions, sculpture, and vase painting. The picture that emerges reveals that women in religious office were not as secluded and marginalized as we have thought--that religious office was one arena in ancient Greece where women enjoyed privileges and authority comparable to that of men. Connelly concludes by examining women's roles in early Christianity, taking on the larger issue of the exclusion of women from the Christian priesthood.--From publisher description.

Internationalement reconnu pour ses travaux sur la religion et la société grecques antiques, Pierre Brulé ne cesse de déconstruire le « miracle grec » en s'intéressant tout d'abord à ses marges, ses fractures, ses ombres. Les études rassemblées dans cet ouvrage s'inscrivent dans cette perspective en proposant de nouvelles approches, essentiellement dans trois domaines : l'histoire des femmes, l'histoire religieuse et l'histoire du corps. Ces trois domaines bien évidemment se recoupent, et l'analyse de la participation des femmes aux rituels et aux fêtes religieuses grecques, que ce soit à Athènes, à Olympie, à Delphes, ou bien encore dans les Lois de Platon, est complétée par l'étude d'associations, de magistrats, de l'usage du fouet… qui sont autant de manières de mettre en lumière comment les cités intégraient et contrôlaient leurs membres, quels que soient leur genre, leur identité, leur statut, n'hésitant pas à recourir à la violence s'il le fallait. De même, les réflexions proposées sur la médecine, les vêtements, les offrandes sacrificielles et le polythéisme, à partir de la prise en compte de mythes, de représentations, des noms des dieux, permettent de nouveau de modifier le regard porté sur le monde antique, en accordant bien souvent une place toute particulière au féminin. Ce refus des idées convenues, ce souci de donner la parole à ceux que les sources ont généralement laissé dans l'ombre, cette attention portée tout autant aux faits les plus concrets qu'à l'imaginaire, témoignent ainsi du renouvellement actuel de l'histoire de l'Antiquité, dont Pierre Brulé est, Chemin faisant, l'un des acteurs importants.
