DOWNLOAD EBOOKA study of the role of the city of Thebes in Books 3 and 4 of Ovid's Metamorphoses. Micaela Janan uses the psychoanalytic theory of Freud and Lacan to argue that the strangely fantastical way in which it is presented shows Ovid posing questions that ultimately relate to the concept of collective identity.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKComprising fifteen books and over two hundred and fifty myths, Ovid's Metamorphoses is one of the longest extant Latin poems from the ancient world and one of the most influential works in Western culture. It is an epic on desire and transgression that became a gateway to the entire world of pagan mythology and visual imagination. This, the first complete commentary in English, covers all aspects of the text – from textual interpretation to poetics, imagination, and ideology – and will be useful as a teaching aid and an orientation for those who are interested in the text and its reception. Historically, the poem's audience includes readers interested in opera and ballet, psychology and sexuality, myth and painting, feminism and posthumanism, vegetarianism and metempsychosis (to name just a few outside the area of Classical Studies).

DOWNLOAD EBOOKCourtney J. P. Friesen explores shifting boundaries of ancient religions by way of the reception of a popular tragedy, Euripides' Bacchae. As a play staging political crises provoked by the arrival of the foreign god Dionysus and his ecstatic cult, audiences and readers found resonances with their own cultural moments. This dramatic deity became emblematic of exuberant and liberating spirituality and, at the same time, a symbol of imperial conquest. Thus, readings of the Bacchae frequently foreground conflicts between religious autonomy and political authority, and between ethnic diversity and social cohesion. This cross-disciplinary study traces appropriations and evocations of this drama ranging from the fifth century BCE through Byzantium not only among pagans but also Jews and Christians. Writers variously articulated their religious visions over against Dionysus, often while paradoxically adopting the god's language and symbols. Consequently, imitation and emulati on are at times indistinguishable from polemics and subversion.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe concept of God has always held conflicting messages. The purpose of this book is to unravel the misconceptions and mixed messages about God in monotheistic religions throughout history. More people have been killed in the name of God than for any other reason. Reflection upon man’s manipulation of the concept of God under the guise of religion may serve the reader in his human journey. God is always silent. People are always talkative. God has so many religions. People are convinced that their religion is the right one in our spacious universe. God is a commodity in the markets of humanity while he/she keeps his/her distance. God is being manipulated by many and the eternal silence of the divine abuse continues forever. The monotheists often forget that they are in the demographic minorities of the planet. Most people in this world do not accept the idea of one god; therefore, new reflections of the monotheists concerning their negative utilization of the right God in their unique perspectives are due to be revealed to those who care about the divine defensive mode.
