Robert Parker Greek Gods Abroad (Hardback) Sather Classical Lectures (UK IMPORT)

Description: Further DetailsTitle: Greek Gods AbroadCondition: NewDescription: From even before the time of Alexander the Great, the Greek gods spread throughout the Mediterranean, carried by settlers and largely adopted by the indigenous populations. By the third century b.c., gods bearing Greek names were worshipped everywhere from Spain to Afghanistan, with the resulting religious systems a variable blend of Greek and indigenous elements. Greek Gods Abroad examines the interaction between Greek religion and the cultures of the eastern Mediterranean with which it came into contact. Robert Parker shows how Greek conventions for naming gods were extended and adapted and provides bold new insights into religious and psychological values across the Mediterranean. The result is a rich portrait of ancient polytheism as it was practiced over 600 years of history.Author: Robert ParkerCountry/Region of Manufacture: USEAN: 9780520293946Format: HardbackGenre: Philosophy & SpiritualityISBN: 9780520293946ISBN-10: 0520293940Item Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmItem Width: 20mmLanguage: EnglishPublisher: University of California PressRelease Date: 05/23/2017Book Series: Sather Classical LecturesSubtitle: Names, Natures, and TransformationsTopic: History, Ancient HistoryRelease Year: 2017 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
