Greek and Roman Animal Sacrifice: Ancient Victims, Modern Observers by Christoph

Description: Greek and Roman Animal Sacrifice by Christopher A. Faraone, F.S. Naiden Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Sacrifice was a central part of Greek and Roman religion, and this volume explores many aspects of it. The book will be indispensable for scholars in all fields of ancient civilization, for teachers of Classical religion and for all those interested in contemporary interpretation of the Classics. Publisher Description The interpretation of animal sacrifice, now considered the most important ancient Greek and Roman religious ritual, has long been dominated by the views of Walter Burkert, the late J.-P. Vernant, and Marcel Detienne. No penetrating and general critique of their views has appeared and, in particular, no critique of the application of these views to Roman religion. Nor has any critique dealt with the use of literary and visual sources by these writers. This book, a collection of essays by leading scholars, incorporates all these subjects and provides a theoretical background for the study of animal sacrifice in an ancient context. Author Biography Christopher A. Faraone is the Frank Curtis Springer and Gertrude Melcher Springer Professor in the Humanities at the University of Chicago. F. S. Naiden is Associate Professor of History at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Details ISBN 1108456529 ISBN-13 9781108456524 Title Greek and Roman Animal Sacrifice Author Christopher A.
