Aphrodite and Eros
This book offers a groundbreaking revision of the popular image of Aphrodite and Eros that lives on in Roman poetry (Venus and Cupid) and has inspired artists for centuries. An interdisciplinary analysis of the Archaic period - using literary, iconographical, and cultic evidence - shows the distinct concept behind the two deities of love. Aphrodite's character, sphere of influence, and function feature in her traditional myths and are well reflected in cult. Eros, however, was not yet a similarly personified mythical figure at that stage, nor did he have an individual cult. Breitenberger follows the different stages of the development of Eros's personality. Originally a cosmic entity and an ...
International Review of Biblical Studies, Volume 53 (2006-2007)
Formerly known by its subtitle “Internationale Zeitschriftenschau für Bibelwissenschaft und Grenzgebiete”, the International Review of Biblical Studies has served the scholarly community ever since its inception in the early 1950’s. Each annual volume includes approximately 2,000 abstracts and summaries of articles and books that deal with the Bible and related literature, including the Dead Sea Scrolls, Pseudepigrapha, Non-canonical gospels, and ancient Near Eastern writings. The abstracts – which may be in English, German, or French - are arranged thematically under headings such as e.g. “Genesis”, “Matthew”, “Greek language”, “text and textual criticism”, “exegetical methods and approaches”, “biblical theology”, “social and religious institutions”, “biblical personalities”, “history of Israel and early Judaism”, and so on. The articles and books that are abstracted and reviewed are collected annually by an international team of collaborators from over 300 of the most important periodicals and book series in the fields covered.
Aristotle and Atlantis
Aristotle considered Plato’s Atlantis to be an invention; so we read time and again – but is this really true? Until the late 19th century, academia still held the opposite opinion. How did this shift in opinion take place? And was it justified? Over 100 works from the Atlantis and Aristotle literature, from antiquity to the Renaissance, from the 18th to the 21st century, were examined in order to track down the truth. A scientific adventure regarding Aristotle’s opinion about Atlantis unfolds step by step, starting 200 years ago and reaching into the present. What did the great philosopher and disciple of Plato really think? All the relevant passages from Aristotle’s works as well as all the steps taken during the literary research are documented in the appendix.

Aristoteles
Kein antiker Denker hat die geistige Entwicklung des Abendlandes so nachhaltig geprägt wie Aristoteles (384-322v.Chr.). Hellmut Flashar – langjähriger Herausgeber der deutschen Aristoteles-Ausgabe – beschreibt in diesem Buch anschaulich Leben und Epoche des wirkungsmächtigen Philosophen und erläutert höchst verständlich seine Werke. Aristoteles wurde in dem nordgriechischen Städtchen Stageira geboren. Sein Vater war Leibarzt des makedonischen Königs, und auch seine Mutter stammte aus einer Arztfamilie. Das intellektuell geprägte Umfeld blieb Aristoteles auch dann erhalten, als seine Eltern früh starben und sein Vormund, der gleichfalls am makedonischen Hof verkehrte, sich um ei...
Seneca in Performance
The plays of Seneca the Younger, minister and philosopher under Nero, are today increasingly studied, appreciated and performed. Here, in twelve new papers from a distinguished international cast, scholars explore established questions, such as whether the plays were written for the stage, and newer topics such as the playwright's subtleties of characterisation, his relation to contemporary Roman spectacle and art - and the problems arising in translating him to modern text or stage.

Kleine Schriften: Mythica, Ritualia, Religiosa 3 : Kulte und Feste
English summary: This volume of Walter Burkert's Kleine Schriften, edited by Eveline Krummen, presents a selection of articles on Greek ritual (especially on sacrifice) and ancient religion. Together with vol. III on Orphic and Pythagorean Studies, the volumes IV-VI form the core of Walter Burkert's work and close the edition of Burkert's Collected Papers. German text. German description: Der sechste Band von Walter Burkerts Kleinen Schriften konzentriert sich auf Kulte und Feste, ist untergliedert in Gottheiten und Heroen und Institutionen. Es geht um die einzelnen Gestalten der griechischen Religion und besonders die Institution des Tempels, aber auch um grundlegende Fragen zur Bedeutung und Funktion von Ritual, Opfer und Religion. Diese Aufsatze eroffnen eine weitere Perspektive der wissenschaftlichen Arbeit Walter Burkerts, die in der Rezeption seines Werkes hinter der Diskussion seiner Opfertheorie und des soziobiologischen Zugangs etwas zuruckgetreten ist, jedoch ebenfalls ein kontinuierliches Thema seiner Arbeiten bildet.
