Epigtoaphic Bulletin for Greek Religion 1996 (EBGR 1996) The ninth issue of the BEGR contains only part of the epigraphie harvest of 1996; unforeseen circumstances have prevented me and my collaborators from covering all the publications of 1996, but we hope to close the gaps next year. We have also made several additions to previous issues. In the past years the BEGR had often summarized publications which were not primarily of epigraphie nature, thus tending to expand into an unavoidably incomplete bibliography of Greek religion. From this issue on we return to the original scope of this bulletin, whieh is to provide information on new epigraphie finds, new interpretations of inscriptions, epigraphieal corpora, and studies based p;imarily on the epigraphie material. Only if we focus on these types of books and articles, will we be able to present the newpublications without delays and, hopefully, without too many omissions.

  • The Divinity of Hellenistic Rulers
    OriginalverCORE öffentlichung in: A. Erskine (ed.), A Companion to the Hellenistic World,Metadata, Oxford: Blackwell citation 2003, and similar papers at core.ac.uk ProvidedS. 431-445 by Propylaeum-DOK CHAPTKR TWENTY-FIVE The Divinity of Hellenistic Rulers Anßdos Chaniotis 1 Introduction: the Paradox of Mortal Divinity When King Demetrios Poliorketes returned to Athens from Kerkyra in 291, the Athenians welcomed him with a processional song, the text of which has long been recognized as one of the most interesting sources for Hellenistic ruler cult: How the greatest and dearest of the gods have come to the city! For the hour has brought together Demeter and Demetrios; she comes to celebrate the solemn mysteries of the Kore, while he is here füll of joy, as befits the god, fair and laughing. His appearance is majestic, his friends all around him and he in their midst, as though they were stars and he the sun. Hail son of the most powerful god Poseidon and Aphrodite. (Douris FGrH76 Fl3, cf. Demochares FGrH75 F2, both at Athen. 6.253b-f; trans. as Austin 35) Had only the first lines of this ritual song survived, the modern reader would notice the assimilaüon of the adventus of a mortal king with that of a divinity, the etymo- logical association of his name with that of Demeter, the parentage of mighty gods, and the external features of a divine ruler (joy, beauty, majesty). Very often scholars reach their conclusions about aspects of ancient mentality on the basis of a fragment; and very often - unavoidably - they conceive only a fragment of reality.

  • The Presence of Gods and Goddess in People's Life in Greco-Roman Egypt Athr Anwr Abdel Hameed1 Ali Omar Abdalla2 Nashwa M
    Journal of the Faculty of Tourism and Hotels-University of Sadat City, Vol. 4, Issue (1/2), June, 2020 The Presence of Gods and Goddess in People's Life in Greco-Roman Egypt Athr Anwr Abdel Hameed1 Ali Omar Abdalla2 Nashwa M. Solieman1 1Faculty of Tourism and Hotels, University of Sadat City 2Faculty of Tourism and Hotels Management, Helwan University Abstract The different circumstances that people faced in Greco-Roman Egypt, made them refuge to gods as they believed that their fortune was depended on the divine will. The presence of gods was appeared in domestic sphere, in objects used to perform religious rites, religious statues, and figurines used for fertility, in private letters and manuscripts as oxyrhynchus papyri. It was very common to mention gods in letters, regardless the purpose of it. People used to ask the protection of gods and pray for gaining their blessing. On other hand in case of any crisis people refuged to gods to solve it. Material evidence indicates that each household constructed its own collection of deities to worship, depending on its specific requirements. Many gods were connected to the domestic life; as Aphrodite goddess of love, god Bes who linked with domestic protection, maternity. Asklepius, Imhotep and Amenhotep who were gods of curing. God Zeus who was responsible for justice, Heron the warrior god, Harpocrates the patron deity of childhood. This thesis tries to recognize how people made a connection with gods in their daily life; it explores different popular gods connected to domestic life. Key words: love goddess, fertility gods, maternity, domestic protection, healing.

RoLLiN and Feuardent, 6, Bloomsbury Street. 1909. [All^ights reserved.'} : LONDON PRINTED BY WILLIAM CLOWES AND SONS, LIMITED. PREFACE. The want of a general chronological view of the coinage of the ancients has long been felt by all who have devoted any study to this branch of archaeology. It is this want which I have here made a first attempt to supply. In the choice and classification of the coins described in the following pages, I have throughout endeavoured to keep simultaneously in view the historic, artistic, and strictly numismatic interest of the coins selected.

Alison Stones, Univ. of Pittsburgh Several art-history web projects are underway at Pitt, paving the way to the future of our discipline, presenting the matierials of our field in new ways which open up new kinds of questions. This session demonstrates and discusses three projects currently operating out of the University of Pittsburgh and a fourth project at the Getty which was developed by a Pitt graduate student.
