It has a special focus on native or        indigenised cults. Furthermore, Anatolian divinities are studied not        only in the Roman, but also during the incipient phases of these cults.        The main topics include issues of polymorphism, polyonymy and the        specific cultural adaptations of the Anatolian deities, the world of the        gods, that of mortals and the relations between dedicators and        divinities. The first part studies the origin of the name and of the        divinity, an attempt to determine the area of dessemination, epithets,        attributes, identifications with other gods, myths and the associated        divinities, as well as symbolism and iconographical elements. The second        part features the economic life of the temples, the organisation of the        sacred space, the nature of the priesthood and the categories of        dedicators, association patterns, age and kinship, and the alterations        that occurred during this period in the perception of the divine world        both in the Anatolian area and throughout the Roman empire. In the last        part of the volume the reader can find useful information regarding the        typology of inscriptions used by the author and the means of        communication between the divine world and the terrestrial one.","brand":"Peeters Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49546329358679,"sku":"9789042937291","price":115.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/religious-excitement-in-ancient-anatolia-cult-and-devotional-forms-for-solar-and-lunar-gods-9789042937291","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
