A proper understanding of the words æ æ ?æ and ? ? £ ? and the context in which they occur is fundamental to the study of Greek religion. This volume seeks to make a significant portion of the source material available to present-day students of religions in the Graeco-Roman world. The ancient texts are accompanied by English translations. Revised chapters from the seminal works by Zijderveld (1934) and Van der Burg (1939) show a whole range of different contexts in ancient literature, thus arguing against an automatic equation of æ æ ?æ and ? ? £ ? with mystery rites. New chapters give an overview of the loanword orgia in Latin poetry, and of æ æ ?æ and ? ? £ ? in the epigraphical evidence. No library descriptions found. |
