Light and darkness played an important role beyond the division of
time in ancient Greek myth and religion; the contributors to Light
and Darkness in Ancient Greek Myth and Religion consider its
function on both the individual and social level as manifested in
modes of thought and behavior and expressed in language, beliefs,
ritual, and iconography. The book is divided into five parts: color
semantics, appearance and concealment, eye sight/insight, being and
beyond, and cult. Each subdivision contains a wealth of information
for the reader, ranging from detailed explanations of the interplay
between lexical categories that denote darkness and light and the
effect of blindness on metaphysical matters to the qualities of
cultic light. This unique volume will be of interest to readers in
fields as diverse as ancient Greek history, metaphysics, and
iconography.
