Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of asylum in ancient civilizations, comparing and contrasting the legal and cultural practices of the Israelites with those of the Greeks. The author meticulously explores the origins and evolution of asylum, revealing its deep-seated roots in human nature and its connection to the universal reverence for divinity. The book examines various forms of sanctuary, from the "Xenia" of the Heroic Age, where powerful individuals offered protection to those seeking refuge, to the "Proxenia" of later times, a formal system of state-sponsored hospitality. The author delves into the specific practices, privileges, and penalties associated with each type of sanctuary, offering a detailed analysis of their development and revealing the complex interplay between legal institutions, cultural beliefs, and societal structures. This book provides a unique perspective on the significance of asylum as a legal and moral concept in ancient societies, ultimately offering insights into the enduring human need for protection from violence and the persistent quest for justice and refuge.
