This lively translation of "Devins, Dieux et Demons" is the first
English-language edition of Jean-Rene Jannot's highly informative
examination of Etruscan religion. Jannot tackles this elusive
subject within three major constructs--death, ritual, and the
nature of the gods--and presents recent discoveries in an
accessible format. Jane K. Whitehead's translation updates Jannot's
innovative text and introduces readers of all types--students,
scholars, and the general audience--to this thorough overview of
ancient Etruscan beliefs, including the afterlife, funerary
customs, and mythology.
Provocative insights and thoughtful discussions contribute to an
understanding of the prophetic nature of Etruscan culture. Jannot
investigates the elaborate systems of defining space and time that
so distinctly characterize this ancient society. "Religion in
Ancient Etruria" offers a unique perspective that illuminates the
origins of some of our own "modern" religious beliefs.
This updated edition includes more than 100 illustrations that
demonstrate early temples, statues, mirrors, tablets, and
sculptures.
1998 French edition, Picard
