ISBN10: 0691127468, ISBN13: 9780691127460, [publisher: Princeton University Press] Hardcover Princeton University Press, Princeton / Woodstock, 2007. 1st ed. XV,27,415p. Original black cloth with pictorial dust wrps. Spine gilt titled. Gift intention as well as blind tooling ex libris stamp to free endpaper. Nice copy. ?In recent years there has been a rise in the amount of attention paid to the role of women in world religions, and Ancient Greece is no exception. (?) Although the interest in this subject is not new, an updated, systematic discussion that brings together the literary epigraphic and archaeological record was very much needed. This is what makes this book all the more valuable: it is a well-documented and well-illustrated study of the role of female cult agents in Greek religion and society. The first chapter (pp.1-25) is an introduction that identifies the chronological and geographical scope of this study, and describes its source material and methodological framework presented as the contemporary, ?third wave? deconstructive feminism that arose in the 1980s. The rest of the book is arranged in a sequence of chapters following the different stages in the life of the Greek priestess. (?) In the conclusions in Chapter 10 (pp.275-281) C. argues strongly against the modern paradigm of interpretation of the social status of Classical Greek women and ?the widely accepted commonplace of silent, submissive, ?invisible? women confined to the privacy of their h ...

Princeton University Press. Very Good+ in Very Good dust jacket. Date: 2007. Hardcover. 0691127468 . Some light creasing to DJ. ; In this sumptuously illustrated book, Joan Breton Connelly gives us the first comprehensive cultural history of priestesses in the ancient Greek world. Connelly presents the fullest and most vivid picture yet of how priestesses lived and worked, from the most famous and sacred of them--the Delphic Oracle and the priestess of Athena Polias--to basket bearers and handmaidens. Along the way, she challenges long-held beliefs to show that priestesses played far more significant public roles in ancient Greece than previously acknowledged. Connelly builds this history through a pioneering examination of archaeological evidence in the broader context of literary sources, inscriptions, sculpture, and vase painting. Ranging from southern Italy to Asia Minor, and from the late Bronze Age to the fifth century A. D. , she brings the priestesses to life--their social origins, how they progressed through many sacred roles on the path to priesthood, and even how they dressed. She sheds light on the rituals they performed, the political power they wielded, their systems of patronage and compensation, and how they were honored, including in death. Connelly shows that understanding the complexity of priestesses' lives requires us to look past the simple lines we draw today between public and private, sacred and secular. The remarkable picture t ...
