No full textPurity, and its converse, impurity, formed a versatile metaphor in the ancient Greek world. Constructing a multifaceted investigation, with both complementary and contrastive approaches, the thirteen papers collected in this volume explore the range of these ideas, from Archaic and Classical Greece to the Roman Near East. Different declensions are readily manifest: purity could be defined as a traditional norm or by institutional law, impurity expressed as a substantive crime or as rhetorical slander. A key debate revolves around the ethical sense of purity and impurity: how early and widely was this notion applied; how did it complement concrete ritual practices of purification and abstention; in other words, in a perspective of continuity and change, how were the inner/mental and outer/corporeal dimensions of purity harmonised ? The present volume celebrates the thirty-fifth anniversary of Robert Parker’s seminal work Miasma: Pollution and Purification in early Greek Religion. Analysing a wealth of documents-inscriptions, papyri, literature-both old and new, the authors reveal compelling case-studies, draw out innovative conclusions, and point in fruitful directions for future research.

Hellenistic Karia
No full textLe présent volume procède d'un colloque organisé à Oxford à l'été 2006. Rassemblant linguistes, archéologues, épigraphistes, numismates et historiens, il fut l'occasion d'échanger des idées sur une période de transition fondamentale dans l'histoire de la Carie : le ive siècle et les deux siècles qui suivirent la conquête d'Alexandre. Cette période fut en effet d'abord marquée par la présence et la visibilité des satrapes, mais aussi ensuite par une intense activité civique et une conscience politique accrue des communautés cariennes. La symbiose entre les îles du Dodécanèse, en particulier Rhodes et Cos, et le littoral carien constitue un autre thème important. Plusieurs communications se rattachent enfin à une orientation de recherche sur les cultures anatoliennes qui est aujourd'hui en plein essor, celle de l'étude des interactions culturelles entre Grecs et Anatoliens depuis la fin de l'âge du Bronze et le début de l'âge du Fer, dont on perçoit encore les échos aux époques plus récentes.The conference on which the present volume is based took place in Oxford in the summer of 2006. It brought together linguists, archaologists, epigraphists, numismatists and historians and allowed them to exchange ideas about a period of major transition in Karian history: the fourth century and the two centuries after Alexander. This was first a period of great starapal visibility and presence, but then alsol of intense civic engagement and increased political awareness among Karian communities. The symbiotic relationship between the islands of the Dodekanese, in particular Rhodes and Kos, and the coastal regions of Karia forms another major theme. Finally, a number of papers pick up on a major recent trend in the study of Anatolian culture, namely the investigation of cross-cultural Greeak-Anatolian interactions in the Late Bronze and Early Iron Ages and their echoes in later periods
