Item description from seller

*** FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request *** - *** IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - FLAWLESS COPY, BRAND NEW, NEVER OPENED -- 256p, 42 black and white pls, 31 b/w figs -- DESCRIPTION: "A detailed and informative study of the use and significance of light and fire from the 7th to 4th century BC as portrayed in literary texts, inscriptions, art and physical remains. Eva Parisinou looks at both earthly lighting devices such as torches and lamps and those associated with the gods and divinity. Both abstract concepts and very specific examples are discussed with particular emphasis on the role of light in rites of passage, in pollution-repelling, in symbolising links with divinity, as well as light used in religious rituals and belief systems. " -- REVIEW: "This book is an examination of light, lamps, and torches as they were used in cult, in representations of the gods in art, and in literary descriptions of religious scenes. Parisinou gathers evidence, mostly but not totally archaeological, from all over the Greek world from the time of Homer to the end of the Classical period. The discussion ranges from the first mention of a lamp in Greek literature, a disputed section of the Odyssey, through the use of torches in foot races and in rites of passage, images of fire held by various deities in art, and the employment of torches in cult. Parisinou provides a large collection of citations for these uses without venturing into much new theoretical or factual territory. " (excerpt) - Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2001.10.06, Reviewed by Edward Kadletz, Ball State University -- with a bonus offer--; 520-Paris.
