  • A Samaritan Amulet and an Anatomic Votive Offering in the Ancient World (Object 5)
    A Samaritan Amulet and an Anatomic Votive Offering in the Ancient World (Object 5) Subtitle: The Relationship between Human and Divinity in the Comparison of the Samaritan Amulet and the Roman Anatomic Votive Offering. The Samaritan Amulet The Votive Offerings of the Roman Republic Name: Chen LIANG [email protected] This essay focuses on two objects from the Kelsey Museum. The first object is a thin piece of inscribed bronze with inscriptions from the Samaritan Bible, likely an amulet produced in the time of Baba Rabbah (late 3rd-early 4th century AD) worn by his followersi. The second is a set of anatomical votive terracotta figurines from the Roman Republic (late 4th-early 1st century BCE), found in Veii and Pozzuoli, Italy. Both amulets and votive offerings, empowered through rituals and spells, are ways through which ancient people established their relationship with the divinity, based on diverse religions and formulae. This essay discusses the social situations when these objects were made, and specifically, how Samaritan’s ethnic identities and the two religious traditions, i.e. YHWH and Greco-Roman traditions, are shown in these objects and their comparison with the other archeological materials. I. Historical Background A thorough analysis of the material resources is impossible without a larger historical context in which the Samaritan people emerged and developed. From the destruction of Solomon’s Temple to the second division of the Roman Empire, the land of Israel and Palestine witnessed the wax and wane of a series of political entities and the formation of diverse ethnicities and religious traditions. After Nebuchadnezzar II captured Jerusalem in 597 BCE and destroyed the city due to rebellion against him, he exiled a number of well-educated, ruling-class Israelites from Judea to Babylon.

  • Diachronic Homer and a Cretan Odyssey
    Oral Tradition, 31/1 (2017):3-50 Diachronic Homer and a Cretan Odyssey Gregory Nagy Introduction I explore here the kaleidoscopic world of Homer and Homeric poetry from a diachronic perspective, combining it with a synchronic perspective. The terms synchronic and diachronic, as I use them here, come from linguistics.1 When linguists use the word synchronic, they are thinking of a given structure as it exists in a given time and space; when they use diachronic, they are thinking of that structure as it evolves through time.2 From a diachronic perspective, the structure that we know as Homeric poetry can be viewed, I argue, as an evolving medium. But there is more to it. When you look at Homeric poetry from a diachronic perspective, you will see not only an evolving medium of oral poetry. You will see also a medium that actually views itself diachronically. In other words, Homeric poetry demonstrates aspects of its own evolution. A case in point is “the Cretan Odyssey”—or, better, “a Cretan Odyssey”—as reflected in the “lying tales” of Odysseus in the Odyssey. These tales, as we will see, give the medium an opportunity to open windows into an Odyssey that is otherwise unknown. In the alternative universe of this “Cretan Odyssey,” the adventures of Odysseus take place in the exotic context of Minoan-Mycenaean civilization. Part 1: Minoan-Mycenaean Civilization and Memories of a Sea-Empire3 Introduction From the start, I say “Minoan-Mycenaean civilization,” not “Minoan” and “Mycenaean” separately. This is because elements of Minoan civilization become eventually infused with elements we find in Mycenaean civilization.

An altar server is a lay assistant to a member of the clergy during a religious service. An altar server attends to supporting tasks at the altar such as fetching and carrying, ringing bells, setting up, cleaning up, and so on. Until 1983, only young men whom the Church sometimes hoped to recruit for the priesthood and seminarians could serve at the altar, and thus altar boy was the usual term until Canon 230 was changed in the 1983 update to the Code of Canon which provided the option for local ordinaries (bishops) to permit females to serve at the altar. The term altar server is now widely used and accepted. When altar servers were only young men and seminarians the term acolyte was used. An acolyte is one of the instituted orders which is installed by a bishop. The title of acolyte is still only given to men as it is historically a minor order of ordained ministry. This term is now usually reserved for the ministry that all who are to be promoted to the diaconate receives at least six months before being ordained a deacon (c.

  • Success at Sea: Maritime Votive Offerings and Naval
    SUCCESS AT SEA: MARITIME VOTIVE OFFERINGS AND NAVAL DEDICATIONS IN ANTIQUITY A Thesis by JACLYN HALEY STREUDING Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Chair of Committee, Deborah Carlson Committee Members, Cemal Pulak Kevin Glowacki Head of Department, Cynthia Werner August 2014 Major Subject: Anthropology Copyright 2014 Jaclyn Haley Streuding ABSTRACT In ancient Greece and Rome, gods and goddesses were thought to have control over many aspects of the human world. In order to influence or appease the divine, Greeks and Romans regularly performed religious rituals. These rituals, which included prayer, sacrifice, and the offering of non-consumable votive objects, constituted an integral part of ancient Greco-Roman religion. Material remains of religious activity, as well as the testimonies of ancient writers, help elucidate the significance of ancient Greco-Roman religious ritual. While almost any occasion, such as birth, marriage, hunting, and harvest, was cause for invoking divine assistance, it was in times of anxiety and danger that religious ritual became a fundamental necessity. Seafaring, which is the focus of the present study, is one such example of a hazardous yet necessary activity that likely affected many individuals in the ancient world at one time or another. Although it is impossible to observe ancient religious beliefs and practice directly, one can observe it indirectly through the excavation and interpretation of material remains. Since prayer and sacrifice generally are not visible in the archaeological record, the votive offering becomes the most informative component of ritual in the understanding of past religious behavior.
