Title: | Introduction to 'Women's Ritual Competence in the Greco-Roman Mediterranean' | Contributor(s): | Eidinow, Esther (author); Maurizio, Lisa (author); Dillon, Matthew P (author) | Publication Date: | 2017 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/21385 | Abstract: | Over the last 50 years, women as ritual agents in the ancient world have increasingly become the subject of scholarly scrutiny. While the reasons for this are manifold, two crucial dimensions can be highlighted: first and foremost, religion is the major sphere where women in antiquity left evidence of their activities; second, ritual itself continues to be an object of intense scholarly attention both within and outside of the field of Classics, not only, but perhaps especially, since Frazer published his 'Golden Bough' (1925) on ritual. These two dimensions, combined with broader historical dynamics, have developed both separately and together - the one informing the other and vice versa. | Publication Type: | Book Chapter | Source of Publication: | Women's Ritual Competence in the Greco-Roman Mediterranean, p. 2-8 | Publisher: | Routledge | Place of Publication: | London, United Kingdom | ISBN: | 9781315546506 9781472478900 |
