Reihe: Studies in Education and Religion in Ancient and Pre-Modern History in the Mediterranean and Its Environs

In dieser interdisziplinären Sammlung von Aufsätzen werden die Nutzung von und der Umgang mit antiken Textquellen aus verschiedenen Umgebungen im gesamten antiken Mittelmeerraum als Schlüssel zum Verständnis der Verbreitung von religiösem und mythologischem Wissen in verschiedenen historischen Kontexten untersucht. In einer Reihe von Fallstudien, die sich auf Texte und Artefakte aus dem alten Ägypten, Mesopotamien, Israel, Griechenland und Rom und ihre Wiederverwendung in der Antike wie auch in der Neuzeit konzentrieren, zeigt dieser Band vielfältige Ansätze und Perspektiven zu Strategien der Einbeziehung von abgeleiteten Materialien in der Antike und darüber hinaus.
