Die Ethik des Traums in den Werken Plutarchs von Chaironeia: Wissen und Ereignis
Christopher Schliephake
This study delves into descriptions of dreams in the work of Plutarch of Chaeronea. It focuses on the ethical dimension of the topic as, for Plutarch, dreams were a medium of philosophical insight and knowledge, and for making moral assessments of historical figures. This book makes an important contribution to our understanding of Plutarch’s religious worldview as well as ancient (dream) divination.

Aspects of Time in Jewish and Christian Exegesis
Edited by Maren R. Niehoff and Christoph Markschies
This collection of articles investigates notions of time in ancient Jewish and Christian Bible interpretation, a genre which is not intrinsically connected with the calculation of time, but enters the debates about time as part of a broader negotiation of religious boundaries. An international team of researchers uncovers the dynamics of competing notions of time and the cultural embeddedness of each.
The following debates about diverging notions of time are discussed as test cases of constructing religious and exegetical boundaries: eternity of time as wholly other, conceived by Plato and reinterpreted by the Jewish exegete Philo; day one of the creation between ideal and measurable time, interpreted differently by Philo and Philoponus, a Christian exegete; cyclical time in the world conflagration as debated among pagan philosophers, Hellenistic and rabbinic Jews as well as Christian exegetes; the contrast between God’s timelessness and human embeddedness in measurable time as seen by Platonic and Christian authors; and finally, the conflict between messianic and historical time, which prompted lively encounters not only between Jews and Christians, but also among the various members of each group.

Sappho in the Making: The Early Reception
This book offers the first interdisciplinary and in-depth study of the cultural practices and ideological paradigms that conditioned the politics of the “reading” of Sappho’s songs in the early and most pivotal stages of her reception. In this wide-ranging synthesis, Dimitrios Yatromanolakis investigates visual representations and ancient texts in their synchronic and diachronic multilayeredness to trace the discursive nexuses that defined the making of “Sappho” in the late archaic, classical, and early Hellenistic periods. Offering a systematic analysis of the contextual cues provided by vase paintings and focusing on the sociocultural institution of the symposion, this book explores the intricate modes of the assimilation of Sappho’s poetry into diverse social, aesthetic, and performative contexts. Drawing on a number of disciplines, including archaeology, papyrology, and anthropology, Sappho in the Making articulates a new methodological Problematik on the reception of archaic Greek socioaesthetic cultures.

Greek Ritual Poetics
Investigating ritual in Greece from cross-disciplinary and transhistorical perspectives, Greek Ritual Poetics offers novel readings of the pivotal role of ritual in Greek traditions by exploring a broad spectrum of texts, art, and social practices. This collection of essays written by an international group of leading scholars in a number of disciplines presents a variety of methodological approaches to secular and religious rituals, and to the narrative and conceptual strategies of their reenactment and manipulation in literary, pictorial, and social discourses. Addressing understudied aspects of Greek ritual and societies, this book will prove significant for classicists, anthropologists, Byzantinists, art historians, neohellenists, and comparatists interested in the interaction between ritual, aesthetics, and cultural communicative systems.
