Festivals were the heartbeat of Greek and Roman society and
fulfilled significant roles in its social and political
organization and within its institutions. Setting the rhythm of the
year, festivals were a common denominator for a wide-ranging series
of phenomena that concerned a large area of social relationships:
social and political processes were formed, maintained, altered,
and sanctioned through religious celebrations, as well as uniting
the populace in common acts centred on common symbols. The study of
religious festivals and the fundamental social functions which they
filled can significantly expand our insights into understanding the
Greco-Roman world, the social processes it went through, and the
symbols it used.
Greek and Roman Festivals addresses the multi-faceted and complex
nature of Greco-Roman festivals and analyses the connections that
existed between them, as religious and social phenomena, and the
historical dynamics that shaped them. The volume contains twelve
articles which form an interdisciplinary perspective of classical
scholarship, ranging from archaeology, history, and history of
religions, to philology.
