It has its origins in a conference held at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, which aimed to bring up the frequently-neglected popular cult and other ritual practices in prehistoric and ancient Greece and the eastern Mediterranean. The topics covered by the chapters of the volume include the interplay between elite and popular ritual at cemeteries and peak sanctuaries just before and right after the establishment of the first palaces in Minoan Crete; the use of conical cups in Minoan ritual; the wide sharing of religious and other metaphysical beliefs as expressed in the wall-paintings of Akrotiri on the island of Thera; the significance of open-air sanctuaries, figurines and other informal cult and ritual paraphernalia in the Aegean, Cyprus and the Levant from the late bronze age to the archaic period; the role of figurines and caves in popular cult in the classical period; the practice of cursing in ancient Athens; and the popular element of sports games in ancient Greece.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 290mmItem Length: 205mmItem Width: 10mmItem Weight: 669gContributor: Chrysanthos Kanellopoulos (Edited by), Giorgos Vavouranakis (Edited by), Konstantinos Kopanias (Edited by)Genre: HistoryAuthor: Chrysanthos KanellopoulosRelease Year: 2019 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
