“greetings, i am an immortal god!”: reading, imagination, and personal divinity in late antiquity, 2nd – 5th centuries ce

This book provides a groundbreaking reassessment of the prehistory of Homeric epic. It argues that in the Early Iron Age bilingual poets transmitted to the Greeks a set of narrative traditions closely related to the one found at Bronze-Age Hattusa, the Hittite capital. Key drivers for Near Eastern influence on the developing Homeric tradition were the shared practices of supralocal festivals and venerating divinized ancestors, and a shared interest in creating narratives about a legendary past using a few specific storylines: theogonies, genealogies connecting local polities, long-distance travel, destruction of a famous city because it refuses to release captives, and trying to overcome death when confronted with the loss of a dear companion. Professor Bachvarova concludes by providing a fresh explanation of the origins and significance of the Greco-Anatolian legend of Troy, thereby offering a new solution to the long-debated question of the historicity of the Trojan War.

Prayer, magic, and the stars in the ancient and late antique world

Greek Religion and the Ancient Near East

Although the subject of ancient Near Eastern dreams has received scholarly attention for some time,1 recent years have seen a resurgence of interest in the topic. In part this is due to the appearance of several previously unpublished texts,2 a scholarly desire to update the available resources on the subject,3 and the currently prevailing academic preference for comparative interdisciplinary inquiry, which has moved the study of the ancient Near Eastern dreams beyond its hitherto nearly entirely descriptive mode.4 What has emerged from this renewed interest is a new appreciation for the subtleties of dreams, the divinatory, ontological, and ideological contexts of their interpretations, and the variety of methodological frameworks that can be used to understand them. While not every framework has proven useful for elucidating the topic beyond what we already know,5 the cumulative impact provides new directions for research.

Dreams and Dream Interpreters in Mesopotamia and in the Hebrew Bible [Old Testament]

In this contribution, I examine several ancient Near Eastern literary texts and artistic variations on the “banquet motif” in which one finds people dining while others die. I argue that these depictions constitute a hitherto unrecognized artistic device rooted in social protocol that represents an inversion of the custom of abstinence during mourning. It thus functions to underscore the contempt of those dining for the dying by depicting their deaths as unworthy of lament. In addition, the motif characterizes the dying party as symbolically and/or physically abased, because of his or her hubris, and thus deserving of a shameful death. Inversely, it portrays the dining party as symbolically and often physically elevated, and reveling in a divine reversal of circumstance.
