Miti, divinita ed eroi nel Mediterraneo antico
by Jose Maria Blazquez
This volume has gathered previously published works, all linked by a common denominator: the various aspects of religious antiquity. The first chapters analyze some Greek myths that over the centuries remained bound to the West. A chapter studies some funeral rites witnessed in the whole Mediterranean basin. Chapters IV, V and VI refer to the religiosity of the pre-Roman peoples of the Iberian Peninsula, grouped by historical stages. Particular attention is paid to the impact of Semitic religion on the formation of indigenous religiosity of pre-Roman peoples. The different contributions had appeared on several national and international magazines, which sometimes made it difficult to reference them. This single volume facilitates the study of the subject, which is always in constant expansion. Italian text.
English summary: This volume has gathered previously published works, all linked by a common denominator: the various aspects of religious antiquity. The first chapters analyze some Greek myths that over the centuries remained bound to the West. A chapter studies some funeral rites witnessed in the whole Mediterranean basin. Chapters IV, V and VI refer to the religiosity of the pre-Roman peoples of the Iberian Peninsula, grouped by historical stages. Particular attention is paid to the impact of Semitic religion on the formation of indigenous religiosity of pre-Roman peoples. The different contributions had appeared on several national and international magazines, which sometimes made it difficult to reference them. This single volume facilitates the study of the subject, which is always in constant expansion. Italian description: In questo volume sono riuniti alcuni lavori pubblicati in diverse occasioni, legati da un denominatore comune: i vari aspetti religiosi dell’Antichita. I primi capitoli analizzano alcuni miti greci che nel corso dei secoli rimasero vincolati all’Occidente. Un capitolo studia alcuni riti funerari testimoniati in tutto il bacino mediterraneo. Il IV, V e VI capitolo fanno riferimento alla religiosita dei popoli preromani della Penisola Iberica, raggruppati per tappe storiche. Una particolare attenzione e riservata all’impatto della religione semitica sulla formazione della religiosita indigena dei popoli preromani. I diversi contributi erano apparsi su diverse riviste nazionali ed estere, il che, a volte, ne rendeva difficile la consultazione. Vari alunni e colleghi mi hanno incoraggiato a riunirli in un volume unico per facilitare lo studio della materia, che e ogni giorno piu vasta. La realizzazione del progetto e stata possibile grazie al generoso contributo concesso alla Real Academia de la Historia dalle Fondazioni BBV, Caja Madrid e Ramon Areces, sempre molto attive nell’appoggiare la diffusione della cultura spagnola. A queste istituzioni desideriamo esternare il nostro piu sentito ringraziamento.
