Sociologist Elzbieta Halas had parallel observations on how symbolism had been largely marginalized as an epiphenomenon" The bottom line is that "Myths as Symbolic Maps of Social-Moral Order" is in truth a "New Approach" Symbolic Maps-Models of Social Consciousness &amp; Social-Moral Order 1. As Confucius, a Chinese philosopher and spiritual leader who lived from 551 to 479 BCE, observed long ago, "Signs and symbols rule the world, not words or laws!" Modern politics and religion have proved Confucius right. 2. Elzbieta Halas Model of Social Symbolism: Halas states that "More profoundly, groups exist only on the ground of common symbolization of their members." "The processes of symbolization…create a social order, express meaning and control actions. Symbols are not autonomous. They constitute tools of action, indicating and dramatizing social relations" 3. D. Balaganapath observes: "The basis of every culture and every identity is determined by its own established common symbolic expression." 4. Ramon Reyes Model: "In sum, one social and moral order encompasses the living, the dead, the deities and the spirits, and the total environment." 5. Emile Durkheim's model: "The forces before which the believer bows are not simple physical energies, such as are presented to the sense and the imagination; they are social forces," 5. Erica Hill's Model of arctic hunter gatherer beliefs in animal spirits as human relations with the natural world, "Their thoughts and actions established and maintained relationships with prey animals and may be more productively conceptualized as dynamic social behaviours embedded within the context of daily life than as privileged ritual acts." – and the beliefs focused attention of the community on the activity of hunting-gathering of animals. 6. Ekaterina Botziou Pilalis observes, "Greek mythology teaches about humanity, virtues… the tales of Hercules, King Midas, Jason and the Argonauts, Theseus and the Minotaur have very clear depictions of who is good and who is evil. Emotions like jealousy and anger,.. are addressed. Virtues such as wisdom, courage and a sense of right and wrong are also easily identifiable. In more mature literature, the lines between good and evil become blurred,…" Of course, Xenophanes and Diogenes were two Greek philosophers who criticized the "morality" Greek gods – yet narratives are powerful tools. Perspective: New Approach: Myths as Symbolic Maps of Divine Order and Social-Moral Order focused on the social symbolism of Justice &amp; Injustice in context of Elzbieta Halas statement that "groups exist only on the ground of common symbolization of their members." "The processes of symbolization…create a social order, express meaning and control actions!" – which is a counterpoint to the materialist maxim that spirituality is unreal and superstitious nonsense which is incorporated into the "supernatural" maladaptive stereotype. By definition the "supernatural" is "outside the scope of science" and therefore a fallacy (Definist fallacy) and scientifically meaningless – plus the "supernatural" comes with baggage: powers, superstitious nonsense, irrational – intangible and unreal.</div></div><div class="button-container"><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-view" href="https://www.academia.edu/128454639/Myths_as_Symbolic_Maps_of_Social_Moral_Order_Mesopotamias_Hammurabi_Code_and_Moses_Lawgiver_Prophet_Mesopotamian_Gods_Shamash_Marduk_Enki_Nabu_Inanna_Enlil_and_Anu_Zeus_and_Indra_Elzbieta_Halas_groups_exist_only_on_the_ground_of_common_symbolization_and_create_a_social_order_"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">description</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View Paper</span></a><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/122033298/download_file?st=MTc0MzI4NTA5MSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=topics-page-work-card" rel="nofollow"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">arrow_downward</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download</span></a></div></div><script>document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { const moreLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.more'); moreLinks.forEach(link => { const summary = link.closest('.summary'); const summarized = summary.querySelector('.summarized'); const complete = summary.querySelector('.complete'); // Only show more link if we have both summarized and complete content if (!summarized || !complete) { link.style.display = 'none'; return; } link.addEventListener('click', (e) => { e.preventDefault(); summarized.classList.add('hidden'); complete.classList.remove('hidden'); // Hide the more link since we don't want to toggle back link.style.display = 'none'; }); }); }); // To allow for closing the author dropdown when clicking outside of it document.addEventListener('click', (event) => { const dropdowns = document.querySelectorAll('details.authors-dropdown'); dropdowns.forEach(dropdown => { if (!dropdown.contains(event.target) && dropdown.hasAttribute('open')) { dropdown.removeAttribute('open'); } }); });</script></div><div class="div"><div class="work-card-container"><div class="title"><a attrs="data-click-track topics--work-card-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/128425614/Chaos_and_Order_in_Norse_Mythology_A_Comparative_Study_of_Loki_and_the_Sacred">Chaos and Order in Norse Mythology: A Comparative Study of Loki and the Sacred</a></div><div class="authors">by <a href="https://independent.academia.edu/Nazanindoostani">Nazanin doostani</a></div><div class="work-metadata"><p class="ds-work-card--detail ds2-5-body-sm">2025, A Comparative Study of Loki and the Sacred</p></div><div class="summary"><div class="summarized">This paper examines the character of Loki in Norse mythology, analyzing his complex and multilayered role within the mythological tradition.

Loki, often perceived as a figure of deception and chaos, transcends simplistic villainy, embodying forces of transformation and renewal. His actions, ranging from the theft of Sif's golden hair to the orchestration of Balder's death, demonstrate his profound influence on Norse mythology. A psychological analysis positions Loki within the Jungian archetype of the Sacred Trickster, a symbol of destabilization, boundary transgression, and transformation. Through a multidisciplinary approach-drawing from literary, psychological, and philosophical perspectives-this study explores Loki's paradoxical nature, illustrating how he mirrors the human psyche, in which the boundaries between good and evil, truth and deception, and order and chaos remain in constant flux.</div></div><div class="button-container"><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-view" href="https://www.academia.edu/128425614/Chaos_and_Order_in_Norse_Mythology_A_Comparative_Study_of_Loki_and_the_Sacred"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">description</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View Paper</span></a><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/122009643/download_file?st=MTc0MzI4NTA5MSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=topics-page-work-card" rel="nofollow"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">arrow_downward</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download</span></a></div></div><script>document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { const moreLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.more'); moreLinks.forEach(link => { const summary = link.closest('.summary'); const summarized = summary.querySelector('.summarized'); const complete = summary.querySelector('.complete'); // Only show more link if we have both summarized and complete content if (!summarized || !complete) { link.style.display = 'none'; return; } link.addEventListener('click', (e) => { e.preventDefault(); summarized.classList.add('hidden'); complete.classList.remove('hidden'); // Hide the more link since we don't want to toggle back link.style.display = 'none'; }); }); }); // To allow for closing the author dropdown when clicking outside of it document.addEventListener('click', (event) => { const dropdowns = document.querySelectorAll('details.authors-dropdown'); dropdowns.forEach(dropdown => { if (!dropdown.contains(event.target) && dropdown.hasAttribute('open')) { dropdown.removeAttribute('open'); } }); });</script></div><div class="div"><div class="work-card-container"><div class="title"><a attrs="data-click-track topics--work-card-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/128424043/Review_of_Gender_in_the_ancient_Near_East_by_Stephanie_Lynn_Budin_London_and_New_York_Routledge_2023_Anthropos_Anthropos_Institute_www_anthropos_journal_de_119_2024_2_November_December_">Review of Gender in the ancient Near East, by Stephanie Lynn Budin.

Beyond such indigenous convictions, Todas have absorbed a plethora of Hindu beliefs and ritual practices. Christian ideology has been propagated among Todas, with foreign-led Christian missionaries succeeded in establishing a breakaway Toda Christian community. But notwithstanding the many divergent sources of Toda religious ideology, the predominant and most public display of Toda ritual activity (apart from among Christian Todas) still centres on their unique sacred dairying cult, despite the rapid decline in the importance of buffaloes in the community's modern-day economic life. This, together with their exclusively Toda deities and culture heroes seems to suggest a unique ethnic religion, frequently categorized as "non-Hindu." But demonstrably Indic (therefore, if only loosely, "Hindu") principles permeate Toda ritual activity. Most notable are the concepts of hierarchy and purity and those of prescribed ritual avoidance coupled with required ritual cooperation. In sum, Toda religion -like the Toda community itself -is at once unique and, at the same time, thoroughly Indic.</div></div><div class="button-container"><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-view" href="https://www.academia.edu/128424043/Review_of_Gender_in_the_ancient_Near_East_by_Stephanie_Lynn_Budin_London_and_New_York_Routledge_2023_Anthropos_Anthropos_Institute_www_anthropos_journal_de_119_2024_2_November_December_"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">description</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View Paper</span></a><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/122008638/download_file?st=MTc0MzI4NTA5MSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=topics-page-work-card" rel="nofollow"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">arrow_downward</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download</span></a></div></div><script>document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { const moreLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.more'); moreLinks.forEach(link => { const summary = link.closest('.summary'); const summarized = summary.querySelector('.summarized'); const complete = summary.querySelector('.complete'); // Only show more link if we have both summarized and complete content if (!summarized || !complete) { link.style.display = 'none'; return; } link.addEventListener('click', (e) => { e.preventDefault(); summarized.classList.add('hidden'); complete.classList.remove('hidden'); // Hide the more link since we don't want to toggle back link.style.display = 'none'; }); }); }); // To allow for closing the author dropdown when clicking outside of it document.addEventListener('click', (event) => { const dropdowns = document.querySelectorAll('details.authors-dropdown'); dropdowns.forEach(dropdown => { if (!dropdown.contains(event.target) && dropdown.hasAttribute('open')) { dropdown.removeAttribute('open'); } }); });</script></div><div class="div"><div class="work-card-container"><div class="title"><a attrs="data-click-track topics--work-card-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/128404831/Tevanic_Judaism_A_Diverse_Path_to_the_Divine_Combining_Ancient_with_Modern">Tevanic Judaism: A Diverse Path to the Divine, Combining Ancient with Modern</a></div><div class="authors">by <a href="https://independent.academia.edu/StudentAccount25">Uri D .

By exploring the structure of mythical symbolism, and focusing on the problem of mythical meaning, the volume lays bare the tautegorical approach to the philosophy of<br />mythology, first initiated by F.W.J. Schelling in the 19th century and later by Ernst Cassirer. The authors further explore the philosophy of mythology in other key figures of 19-20th century European philosophy, including Claude Lévi-Strauss, Friedrich Nietzsche, Emmanuel Levinas, Jacques Derrida, and<br />Hans Blumenberg, among others. Given the ubiquitous character of myth, they further investigate the intersection of European philosophy and Japanese philosophy by addressing the problem of myth in Tanabe Hajime and Kiyozawa Manshi.</div></div><div class="button-container"><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-view" href="https://www.academia.edu/128320207/Mythical_Totalities"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">description</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View Paper</span></a><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/121921565/download_file?st=MTc0MzI4NTA5MSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=topics-page-work-card" rel="nofollow"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">arrow_downward</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download</span></a></div></div><script>document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { const moreLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.more'); moreLinks.forEach(link => { const summary = link.closest('.summary'); const summarized = summary.querySelector('.summarized'); const complete = summary.querySelector('.complete'); // Only show more link if we have both summarized and complete content if (!summarized || !complete) { link.style.display = 'none'; return; } link.addEventListener('click', (e) => { e.preventDefault(); summarized.classList.add('hidden'); complete.classList.remove('hidden'); // Hide the more link since we don't want to toggle back link.style.display = 'none'; }); }); }); // To allow for closing the author dropdown when clicking outside of it document.addEventListener('click', (event) => { const dropdowns = document.querySelectorAll('details.authors-dropdown'); dropdowns.forEach(dropdown => { if (!dropdown.contains(event.target) && dropdown.hasAttribute('open')) { dropdown.removeAttribute('open'); } }); });</script></div><div class="div"><div class="work-card-container"><div class="title"><a attrs="data-click-track topics--work-card-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/128309082/Sciamanesimo_parte_2_compendio_2025_">Sciamanesimo parte 2 (compendio 2025)</a></div><div class="authors">by <a href="https://independent.academia.edu/FilosofiaPoesia">Filosofia Poesia Lunaria</a></div><div class="work-metadata"><p class="ds-work-card--detail ds2-5-body-sm">2025</p></div><div class="summary"><div class="summarized">La nostra conoscenza della religione originaria dei Lapponi è incerta e frammentaria in quanto le fonti sono costituite dalle relazioni dei missionari che nel '500 e nel '600 si sforzarono di sradicare le credenze pagane e ai quali, di... <a class="more u-tcGrayDark u-linkUnstyled" href="#">more</a></div><div class="complete hidden">La nostra conoscenza della religione originaria dei Lapponi è incerta e frammentaria in quanto le fonti sono costituite dalle relazioni dei missionari che nel '500 e nel '600 si sforzarono di sradicare le credenze pagane e ai quali, di conseguenza, venivano nascoste molte verità.

Through a critical examination of linguistic patterns, mythological connections, and theological implications, Inman argues that names functioned as more than mere identifiers—they were powerful expressions of spiritual ideology, social hierarchy, and esoteric wisdom. In Volume I, Inman investigates the theological significance of naming practices across various cultures, emphasizing the role of priestly authority in assigning sacred names. He examines how divine attributes, celestial symbols, and religious doctrines shaped the names of children, prophets, kings, and pharaohs, thereby embedding theological narratives within personal identities. The book highlights the cross-cultural prevalence of theophoric names—those invoking deities—demonstrating their significance in ancient Egyptian, Mesopotamian, Greek, Roman, Hebrew, and Indo-European traditions. A major theme of the book is the power of names as conduits of divine influence. Inman discusses how biblical figures often underwent name changes to reflect spiritual transformation (e.g., Abram to Abraham, Jacob to Israel) and how Egyptian magic held that knowing a god’s secret name conferred supernatural control. He also examines the mysticism embedded in Hebrew numerology (Gematria), Greek Isopsephy, and the 99 Names of Allah in Islamic tradition, revealing a deeper, often hidden, significance behind sacred names. Another crucial focus is the solar and phallic symbolism inherent in ancient names. Inman explores how names incorporating sun-related elements—such as those referencing Ra (Egyptian) or Helios (Greek)—point to a widespread reverence for solar deities. Similarly, he investigates the prominence of feminine divinity in names associated with goddesses like Ishtar, Astarte, and Aphrodite, revealing traces of early matriarchal religious traditions. In addition, Inman conducts a comparative analysis of biblical and "pagan" naming customs, highlighting their shared symbolic structures despite theological differences. He examines the divine legitimacy embedded in the names of rulers, from pharaohs to Roman emperors, showing how names reinforced political and religious power. The text also delves into mystical interpretations of names, uncovering esoteric connections that span Kabbalistic, Chaldean, and Greco-Roman traditions. This volume provides a scholarly yet provocative examination of ancient religious thought through the lens of nomenclature, making it a crucial resource for students of comparative religion, mythology, biblical studies, and esoteric traditions. By exposing the sacred and often mystical dimensions of names, Inman challenges conventional perspectives on history, theology, and the transmission of ancient wisdom.<br />Summary of Contents <br />Expanded Summaries & Comparative Religion & Mythology<br />Ancient Faiths Embodied in Ancient Names (Volume I) – By Thomas Inman, M.D.<br />1. Introduction<br />Summary:<br />The introduction establishes the book’s central thesis: names in ancient cultures were more than mere identifiers—they carried religious, mythological, and esoteric significance. Inman argues that the act of naming was a sacred function often controlled by priests and rulers, reflecting theological doctrines and cosmological views.<br />Comparative Religion & Mythology:<br />• In Mesopotamian, Egyptian, and Hebrew traditions, names were believed to hold power and influence fate (e.g., the concept of nomina sacra in early Christianity and the mystical Shem HaMephorash in Judaism).<br />• Many Indo-European languages reflect divine attributes in names, such as Dyaus Pitar (Sky Father) in Vedic religion, paralleling Zeus Pater (Greek) and Jupiter (Roman).<br />• The notion that knowing a deity’s secret name granted power is present in Egyptian myths, such as Isis compelling Ra to reveal his hidden name to gain divine authority.<br />2. The Power of Names<br />This chapter explores how names were perceived as vessels of power. Ancient people believed that a name could dictate destiny, convey divine protection, or even curse an individual. The act of naming was thus deeply intertwined with religion and magic.<br />Comparative Religion & Mythology:<br />• In the Bible, name changes symbolize transformation (e.g., Abram → Abraham, Jacob → Israel, Simon → Peter).<br />• Egyptian magic involved the Ritual of the Secret Name, where knowing the true name of a god or person conferred supernatural control.<br />• Hindu and Buddhist traditions emphasize mantras—sacred syllables or names of deities that hold metaphysical power (e.g., chanting Om Namah Shivaya).<br />3. Priestly Authority in Naming<br />Priests and religious leaders often controlled the naming process, reinforcing their spiritual influence. This chapter examines how sacred names were given by divine mandate and how religious figures assumed names reflecting their divine service.<br />Comparative Religion & Mythology:<br />• In ancient Mesopotamia, the god Marduk assigned names to celestial bodies, reinforcing the belief that naming was a divine prerogative.<br />• Pharaohs of Egypt adopted throne names imbued with divine protection (e.g., Ramesses = "Ra has fashioned him").<br />• In Christianity, popes and monks take new names upon ordination, similar to Buddhist monks receiving Dharma names.<br />4. Sacred Symbols and Emblems in Names<br />This chapter explores how religious symbols, such as the sun, moon, and sacred animals, were incorporated into names. Names served as markers of religious devotion and reflected mythological archetypes.<br />Comparative Religion & Mythology:<br />• The Egyptian name Thutmose ("Born of Thoth") reflects reverence for the god of wisdom.<br />• Greek and Roman names frequently reference gods, e.g., Dionysios (devoted to Dionysus).<br />• The use of totemic animal names appears in Norse, Native American, and Hindu traditions (e.g., Björn = “Bear,” Singh = “Lion”).<br />5. Names of Kings and Pharaohs<br />Rulers often bore names that asserted divine legitimacy. This chapter examines the interplay between monarchy and theology, showing how kings were often deified through their titles.<br />Comparative Religion & Mythology:<br />• Egyptian pharaohs incorporated Ra, Amun, or Ptah into their names to align themselves with divine authority.<br />• The Sumerian King List claims early rulers reigned for thousands of years, linking them with the gods.<br />• Alexander the Great was declared the "Son of Zeus-Ammon" to solidify his divine right to rule.<br />6. Biblical Names and Their Meanings<br />An in-depth analysis of Hebrew and biblical names, many of which encapsulate theological messages. This chapter discusses how names were used to express divine favor, prophecy, and covenant relationships.<br />Comparative Religion & Mythology:<br />• Elijah (Eli-Yah) means “My God is Yahweh,” reinforcing monotheistic devotion.<br />• Theophoric names in Mesopotamian religion (e.g., Belshazzar = "Bel, protect the king") parallel Hebrew naming conventions.<br />• The Quran also uses significant names, such as Isa (Jesus) and Musa (Moses), connecting Islamic tradition with earlier Abrahamic narratives.<br />7. Pagan and Heathen Naming Practices<br />This section contrasts biblical naming traditions with those of so-called "pagan" cultures, revealing similarities in sacred nomenclature.<br />Comparative Religion & Mythology:<br />• Norse mythology contains names derived from gods, such as Thorstein (Thor’s stone).<br />• Roman emperors often adopted divine epithets (e.g., Augustus, meaning "venerable," conferred semi-divine status).<br />• Hindu names frequently invoke deities (e.g., Vishnupriya = "Beloved of Vishnu").<br />8. Names and the Sun-Worship Tradition<br />The importance of solar deities in ancient religions is reflected in names incorporating sun-related elements.<br />Comparative Religion & Mythology:<br />• Ra in Egyptian names (e.g., Rameses = "Ra bore him").<br />• Helios and Apollo in Greek names reflect solar associations.<br />• The Indo-European root Dyaus (meaning "shining sky") connects to Deus (Latin for "god").<br />9. Female Deities and Feminine Names<br />This chapter examines the role of goddess worship in naming conventions, demonstrating how matriarchal religious traditions influenced personal names.<br />Comparative Religion & Mythology:<br />• Ishtar, Astarte, and Aphrodite all reflect the divine feminine in ancient names.<br />• The Virgin Mary’s name (Mariam) has possible Egyptian roots (linked to Merit-Amun).<br />• Hindu names like Lakshmi and Parvati remain common due to their association with prosperity and motherhood.<br />10. Mysticism in Ancient Names<br />The final chapter of Volume I explores esoteric interpretations of names, revealing hidden numerological and cabalistic meanings.<br />Comparative Religion & Mythology:<br />• Kabbalistic tradition assigns numerical values to Hebrew letters (Gematria), uncovering hidden messages.<br />• The Greek Isopsephy system was used to calculate divine name values (e.g., Iesous (Jesus) = 888).<br />• Islamic Sufi traditions emphasize the 99 Names of Allah, each representing an aspect of the divine.<br />Tags<br />Ancient religions, comparative religion, mythology, paganism, heathen traditions, ancient deities, sun worship, moon worship, star worship, elemental gods, divine pantheons, mythological symbols, sacred names, religious syncretism, esoteric traditions, hermeticism, theosophy, mysticism, occult studies, sacred linguistics, sacred etymology, theological names, ancient symbolism, theophoric names, divine epithets, priestly authority, sacred rites, biblical names, Hebrew mysticism, Egyptian mythology, Mesopotamian religion, Phoenician deities, Canaanite religion, Greek mythology, Roman religious practices, Norse mythology, Celtic deities, Hindu deities, Vedic religion, Indo-European mythology, Zoroastrianism, Persian religion, Sumerian gods, Akkadian traditions, Chaldean astrology, ancient astronomy, celestial worship, astrological influences, divine kingship, theocracy, pharaohs and gods, emperor worship, sacred kin...</div></div><div class="button-container"><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-view" href="https://www.academia.edu/128287491/Ancient_Faiths_Embodied_in_Ancient_Names_or_An_Attempt_to_Trace_the_Religious_Belief_Sacred_Rites_and_Holy_Emblems_of_Certain_Nations_by_an_Interpretation_of_the_Names_Given_to_Children_by_Priestly_Authority_or_Assumed_by_Prophets_Kings_and_Pharaohs_Thomas_Inman_M_D_Hidden_Lost_Text_792_Pages_"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">description</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View Paper</span></a><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/121893880/download_file?st=MTc0MzI4NTA5MSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=topics-page-work-card" rel="nofollow"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">arrow_downward</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download</span></a></div></div><script>document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { const moreLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.more'); moreLinks.forEach(link => { const summary = link.closest('.summary'); const summarized = summary.querySelector('.summarized'); const complete = summary.querySelector('.complete'); // Only show more link if we have both summarized and complete content if (!summarized || !complete) { link.style.display = 'none'; return; } link.addEventListener('click', (e) => { e.preventDefault(); summarized.classList.add('hidden'); complete.classList.remove('hidden'); // Hide the more link since we don't want to toggle back link.style.display = 'none'; }); }); }); // To allow for closing the author dropdown when clicking outside of it document.addEventListener('click', (event) => { const dropdowns = document.querySelectorAll('details.authors-dropdown'); dropdowns.forEach(dropdown => { if (!dropdown.contains(event.target) && dropdown.hasAttribute('open')) { dropdown.removeAttribute('open'); } }); });</script></div><div class="div"><div class="work-card-container"><div class="title"><a attrs="data-click-track topics--work-card-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/128283785/God_as_a_Child_in_the_Southern_Levant_and_Northern_Egypt_Cultural_Transition_and_Continuity_in_the_Light_of_a_Pictorial_Motif_of_the_Longue_Dur%C3%A9e_in_S_Schroer_and_P_Wyssmann_eds_Images_in_Transition_Leuven_Paris_Bristol_CT_2024_110_161">God as a Child in the Southern Levant and Northern Egypt: Cultural Transition and Continuity in the Light of a Pictorial Motif of the Longue Durée, in: S.

In order to do so, traditional borders of disciplines (text/art, pagan/Christian/Jewish, Greece/Levant/Egypt) are not respected.<br />The motif, attested since prehistoric times, gained popularity with the Libyan<br />dynasties and was immediately received in the Levant and spread over the whole Mediterranean. It was propagated and transformed in the healing centers of the region. During Ptolemaic reign in Egypt the Hellenized Egyptians and the Egyptianized Greeks transformed the motif of the child-god aesthetically and in regard of its concept. At the same time it was fused with IAÔ, a Jewish re-interpretation of the Canaanite god Baal-Seth. Finally we find its imprints prominently in the Christian religion. For better orientation three main functions of the image of the divine child, as they were developed during the research, may be distinguished: the endangered child (medical relevance), the savior-child (political relevance), and the cosmic child (theological relevance).</div></div><div class="button-container"><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-view" href="https://www.academia.edu/128283785/God_as_a_Child_in_the_Southern_Levant_and_Northern_Egypt_Cultural_Transition_and_Continuity_in_the_Light_of_a_Pictorial_Motif_of_the_Longue_Dur%C3%A9e_in_S_Schroer_and_P_Wyssmann_eds_Images_in_Transition_Leuven_Paris_Bristol_CT_2024_110_161"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">description</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View Paper</span></a><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/121890777/download_file?st=MTc0MzI4NTA5MSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=topics-page-work-card" rel="nofollow"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">arrow_downward</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download</span></a></div></div><script>document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { const moreLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.more'); moreLinks.forEach(link => { const summary = link.closest('.summary'); const summarized = summary.querySelector('.summarized'); const complete = summary.querySelector('.complete'); // Only show more link if we have both summarized and complete content if (!summarized || !complete) { link.style.display = 'none'; return; } link.addEventListener('click', (e) => { e.preventDefault(); summarized.classList.add('hidden'); complete.classList.remove('hidden'); // Hide the more link since we don't want to toggle back link.style.display = 'none'; }); }); }); // To allow for closing the author dropdown when clicking outside of it document.addEventListener('click', (event) => { const dropdowns = document.querySelectorAll('details.authors-dropdown'); dropdowns.forEach(dropdown => { if (!dropdown.contains(event.target) && dropdown.hasAttribute('open')) { dropdown.removeAttribute('open'); } }); });</script></div><div class="div"><div class="work-card-container"><div class="title"><a attrs="data-click-track topics--work-card-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/128270184/Research_Seminars_in_Classics_and_Ancient_History_at_the_University_of_Queensland_First_Semester_2025_Convened_by_Associate_Professor_David_M_Pritchard_Program">Research Seminars in Classics and Ancient History at the University of Queensland: First Semester 2025: Convened by Associate Professor David M.

The investigation focuses on connections to the Iberian Peninsula, North African Berbers, and Atlantic islands, highlighting how regional myths and archaeological discoveries contribute to the legend's development.</div></div><div class="button-container"><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-view" href="https://www.academia.edu/128268104/Atlantis_A_Synthesis_of_Myth_Archaeology_and_Ancient_Sources_Revised_"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">description</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View Paper</span></a><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/121877497/download_file?st=MTc0MzI4NTA5MSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=topics-page-work-card" rel="nofollow"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">arrow_downward</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download</span></a></div></div><script>document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { const moreLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.more'); moreLinks.forEach(link => { const summary = link.closest('.summary'); const summarized = summary.querySelector('.summarized'); const complete = summary.querySelector('.complete'); // Only show more link if we have both summarized and complete content if (!summarized || !complete) { link.style.display = 'none'; return; } link.addEventListener('click', (e) => { e.preventDefault(); summarized.classList.add('hidden'); complete.classList.remove('hidden'); // Hide the more link since we don't want to toggle back link.style.display = 'none'; }); }); }); // To allow for closing the author dropdown when clicking outside of it document.addEventListener('click', (event) => { const dropdowns = document.querySelectorAll('details.authors-dropdown'); dropdowns.forEach(dropdown => { if (!dropdown.contains(event.target) && dropdown.hasAttribute('open')) { dropdown.removeAttribute('open'); } }); });</script></div><div class="div"><div class="work-card-container"><div class="title"><a attrs="data-click-track topics--work-card-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/128266142/Atlantis_Radiance_and_Ruin_Narratives_of_Cataclysmic_Events_Ancient_Records">Atlantis Radiance and Ruin - Narratives of Cataclysmic Events Ancient Records</a></div><div class="authors">by <a href="https://independent.academia.edu/DavidLeeFernandes">David Lee Fernandes</a></div><div class="work-metadata"><p class="ds-work-card--detail ds2-5-body-sm">2025, Self-published</p></div><div class="summary"><div class="summarized">Ancient Sanskrit texts, particularly from Indian epics and records like the Mahabharata, Ramayana, and Samarangana Sutradhara, along with external manuscripts from other traditions, provide compelling yet fascinating depictions of... <a class="more u-tcGrayDark u-linkUnstyled" href="#">more</a></div><div class="complete hidden">Ancient Sanskrit texts, particularly from Indian epics and records like the Mahabharata, Ramayana, and Samarangana Sutradhara, along with external manuscripts from other traditions, provide compelling yet fascinating depictions of advanced technologies and catastrophic events. These narratives describe aerial objects (vimanas), celestial chariots, and weapons of immense power, including The Brahma Weapon and Agneyastra. Accounts emphasize the environmental and physiological impacts of these weapons, such as scorched landscapes, boiling seas, and symptoms akin to radiation exposure. The secrecy surrounding their construction and the allegorical language used in their descriptions challenge modern scientific analysis. Speculative links are drawn between these accounts and global myths, such as the destruction of Atlantis, attributing geophysical phenomena, including earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, to the misuse of these technologies. These descriptions, while intertwined with mythology, raise questions about the existence of ancient civilizations with an established scientific understanding, their catastrophic downfall, and the potential historical basis of these records.</div></div><div class="button-container"><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-view" href="https://www.academia.edu/128266142/Atlantis_Radiance_and_Ruin_Narratives_of_Cataclysmic_Events_Ancient_Records"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">description</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View Paper</span></a><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/121875920/download_file?st=MTc0MzI4NTA5MSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=topics-page-work-card" rel="nofollow"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">arrow_downward</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download</span></a></div></div><script>document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { const moreLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.more');

El descubrimiento accidental de los conductos de ventilación empleados en la excavación de la cámara, revela sin querer su plan de ocultación. <br />Se destacan las estrategias factibles de ser adoptadas por los ingenieros egipcios, comparando el diseño de la pirámide de Keops con el de otras pirámides. <br />Finalmente, se analizan las técnicas de detección actuales y su potencial para localizar la Cámara Funeraria de Keops.</div></div><div class="button-container"><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-view" href="https://www.academia.edu/128143503/Dise%C3%B1o_Interior_de_las_Pir%C3%A1mides_Egipcias_La_C%C3%A1mara_Funeraria"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">description</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View Paper</span></a><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/121770329/download_file?st=MTc0MzI4NTA5MSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=topics-page-work-card" rel="nofollow"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">arrow_downward</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download</span></a></div></div><script>document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { const moreLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.more'); moreLinks.forEach(link => { const summary = link.closest('.summary'); const summarized = summary.querySelector('.summarized'); const complete = summary.querySelector('.complete'); // Only show more link if we have both summarized and complete content if (!summarized || !complete) { link.style.display = 'none'; return; } link.addEventListener('click', (e) => { e.preventDefault(); summarized.classList.add('hidden'); complete.classList.remove('hidden'); // Hide the more link since we don't want to toggle back link.style.display = 'none'; }); }); }); // To allow for closing the author dropdown when clicking outside of it document.addEventListener('click', (event) => { const dropdowns = document.querySelectorAll('details.authors-dropdown'); dropdowns.forEach(dropdown => { if (!dropdown.contains(event.target) && dropdown.hasAttribute('open')) { dropdown.removeAttribute('open'); } }); });</script></div><div class="div"><div class="work-card-container"><div class="title"><a attrs="data-click-track topics--work-card-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/128133629/_2025_Of_Myths_and_Machines_Anchoring_Technology_in_Mythology_in_Imperial_Rome_in_Anchoring_Science_and_Technology_in_Greco_Roman_Antiquity_eds_Miko_Flohr_Stephan_Mols_Teun_Tieleman_Leiden_Brill_Euhormos_222_236">(2025): “Of Myths and Machines: Anchoring Technology in Mythology in Imperial Rome”, in: Anchoring Science and Technology in Greco-Roman Antiquity, eds Miko Flohr – Stephan Mols – Teun Tieleman, Leiden: Brill (Euhormos), 222-236.</a></div><div class="authors">by <a href="https://kuleuven.academia.edu/MichielMeeusen">Michiel Meeusen</a></div><div class="work-metadata"><p class="ds-work-card--detail ds2-5-body-sm">2025</p></div><div class="summary"><div class="summarized">speaks of a process of 'secularisation' of technical skills. 4 Studies on the intersection between myths and technology, in terms of how specific technological themes and topics were formulated and imagined in ancient myths, include: Graf... <a class="more u-tcGrayDark u-linkUnstyled" href="#">more</a></div><div class="complete hidden">speaks of a process of 'secularisation' of technical skills. 4 Studies on the intersection between myths and technology, in terms of how specific technological themes and topics were formulated and imagined in ancient myths, include: Graf 20012, on the development of metallurgy; Lively 2006, on classical cyber myths; Devecka 2013, on mythic automata as a culture's expressions of utopian desire; Mayor 2018, on robots and artificially intelligent lifeforms; Chesi and Sclavi 2020, on Pandora as a cyborg; Gerolemou 2023, 31-66 on dramatic automation.

I consequently propose a way to define "myth," narrowing its focus even while acknowledging that the term will persist, even with its often contradictory definitions.</div></div><div class="button-container"><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-view" href="https://www.academia.edu/128062514/Introduction_to_Mythology_A_Folkloric_Perspective"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">description</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View Paper</span></a><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/121701365/download_file?st=MTc0MzI4NTA5MSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=topics-page-work-card" rel="nofollow"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">arrow_downward</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download</span></a></div></div><script>document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { const moreLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.more'); moreLinks.forEach(link => { const summary = link.closest('.summary'); const summarized = summary.querySelector('.summarized'); const complete = summary.querySelector('.complete'); // Only show more link if we have both summarized and complete content if (!summarized || !complete) { link.style.display = 'none'; return; } link.addEventListener('click', (e) => { e.preventDefault(); summarized.classList.add('hidden'); complete.classList.remove('hidden'); // Hide the more link since we don't want to toggle back link.style.display = 'none'; }); }); }); // To allow for closing the author dropdown when clicking outside of it document.addEventListener('click', (event) => { const dropdowns = document.querySelectorAll('details.authors-dropdown'); dropdowns.forEach(dropdown => { if (!dropdown.contains(event.target) && dropdown.hasAttribute('open')) { dropdown.removeAttribute('open'); } }); });</script></div><div class="div"><div class="work-card-container"><div class="title"><a attrs="data-click-track topics--work-card-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/128044098/KAOS_Not_a_Soap_with_Unusual_Names_">KAOS, Not “a Soap with Unusual Names”?</a></div><div class="authors">by <a href="https://uni-lj.academia.edu/Clotho">Clotho / Κλωθώ</a> and <details class="authors-dropdown"><summary>2 more</summary><div class="dropdown-content"><div class="dropdown-item"><a href="https://independent.academia.edu/BaranekAnna">Anna Baranek</a></div><div class="dropdown-item"><a href="https://uw.academia.edu/ElzbietaOlechowska">Elzbieta Olechowska</a></div></div></details></div><div class="work-metadata"><p class="ds-work-card--detail ds2-5-body-sm">2025, Clotho</p></div><div class="summary"><div class="summarized">Charlie Covell’s vision and the intended message in Netflix’s 2024 series KAOS are explored in the context of recent audiovisual productions featuring powerful families and through a comparison of myths transformed for the needs of the... <a class="more u-tcGrayDark u-linkUnstyled" href="#">more</a></div><div class="complete hidden">Charlie Covell’s vision and the intended message in Netflix’s 2024 series KAOS are explored in the context of recent audiovisual productions featuring powerful families and through a comparison of myths transformed for the needs of the series with the actual myths. We intend to demonstrate that the series reflects current issues and challenges similar to timeless concerns related to being human, which are present in the myths. Of particular interest is the characterization of female characters that focuses on protagonists Eurydice and Ariadne as primary examples. The series combines recognizable elements of classical myths with a modern feminist perspective and offers a new approach to ancient narratives, not only situating itself within the well-established network of classical reception but also deliberately increasing the agency of female mythical characters. Examining Eurydice’s and Ariadne’s portrayals contextualizes them within the contemporary receptions of these mythological figures and highlights elements particular to KAOS, such as the unique changes made to the characters’ respective myths. It is argued that the feminist vision of these characters aligns with broader trends in classical reception and opens up space to perceive these ancient women as liberated from the confines of the mythical ethos and time.</div></div><div class="button-container"><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-view" href="https://www.academia.edu/128044098/KAOS_Not_a_Soap_with_Unusual_Names_"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">description</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View Paper</span></a><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/121685016/download_file?st=MTc0MzI4NTA5MSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=topics-page-work-card" rel="nofollow"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">arrow_downward</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download</span></a></div></div><script>document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { const moreLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.more'); moreLinks.forEach(link => { const summary = link.closest('.summary'); const summarized = summary.querySelector('.summarized'); const complete = summary.querySelector('.complete'); // Only show more link if we have both summarized and complete content if (!summarized || !complete) { link.style.display = 'none'; return; } link.addEventListener('click', (e) => { e.preventDefault(); summarized.classList.add('hidden'); complete.classList.remove('hidden'); // Hide the more link since we don't want to toggle back link.style.display = 'none'; }); }); }); // To allow for closing the author dropdown when clicking outside of it document.addEventListener('click', (event) => { const dropdowns = document.querySelectorAll('details.authors-dropdown'); dropdowns.forEach(dropdown => { if (!dropdown.contains(event.target) && dropdown.hasAttribute('open')) { dropdown.removeAttribute('open'); } }); });</script></div><div class="div"><div class="work-card-container"><div class="title"><a attrs="data-click-track topics--work-card-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/128040632/Przekle%C5%84stwo_kr%C3%B3l%C3%B3w_plaga_kr%C3%B3lestw_smok_w_wybranych_opowie%C5%9Bciach_polskiego_folkloru_tradycyjnego">Przekleństwo królów, plaga królestw — smok w wybranych opowieściach polskiego folkloru tradycyjnego</a></div><div class="authors">by <a href="https://torun-pl.academia.edu/AdrianMianecki">Adrian Mianecki</a></div><div class="work-metadata"><p class="ds-work-card--detail ds2-5-body-sm">2025, Colloquia Anthropologica et Communicativa</p></div><div class="summary"><div class="summarized">Artykuł kontynuuje wątki poświęcone rekonstrukcji wyobrażeń kosmogonicznych przedchrześcijańskich Słowian, częściowo opublikowane we wcześniejszych tomach serii "Colloquia Anthropologica et Communicativa".

It took place very quickly, which, according to the author of this article, was to some extent a consequence of the specific nature of ancient Egyptian religion, which shaped in its own way the mentality and perception of the Absolute as a monotheism. The balancing act between monotheism and polytheism, as well as the convergent elements of ancient Egyptian and Christian soteriology, together with external factors, provided fertile <br />although not necessarily fully perceptible to the inhabitants of Egypt at the time – ground for the development of a new religion, which was based on monotheistic and at the same time Trinitarian dogmas.</div></div><div class="button-container"><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-view" href="https://www.academia.edu/128023724/Staroegipski_monoteizm_jako_antycypacja_chrze%C5%9Bcija%C5%84stwa"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">description</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View Paper</span></a><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/121666936/download_file?st=MTc0MzI4NTA5MSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=topics-page-work-card" rel="nofollow"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">arrow_downward</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download</span></a></div></div><script>document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { const moreLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.more'); moreLinks.forEach(link => { const summary = link.closest('.summary'); const summarized = summary.querySelector('.summarized'); const complete = summary.querySelector('.complete'); // Only show more link if we have both summarized and complete content if (!summarized || !complete) { link.style.display = 'none'; return; } link.addEventListener('click', (e) => { e.preventDefault(); summarized.classList.add('hidden'); complete.classList.remove('hidden'); // Hide the more link since we don't want to toggle back link.style.display = 'none'; }); }); }); // To allow for closing the author dropdown when clicking outside of it document.addEventListener('click', (event) => { const dropdowns = document.querySelectorAll('details.authors-dropdown'); dropdowns.forEach(dropdown => { if (!dropdown.contains(event.target) && dropdown.hasAttribute('open')) { dropdown.removeAttribute('open'); } }); });</script></div><div class="div"><div class="work-card-container"><div class="title"><a attrs="data-click-track topics--work-card-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/128007808/2025_Yearning_for_Immortality_The_European_Invention_of_the_Ancient_Egyptian_Afterlife">2025.

But, as Rune Nyord shows, even today, our understanding of the Egyptian afterlife has been formulated to a striking extent in Christian terms. Nyord argues that this is no accident, but rather the result of a long history of Europeans systematically retelling the religion of ancient Egypt to fit the framework of Christianity. The idea of ancient Egyptians believing in postmortem judgment with rewards and punishments in the afterlife was developed during the early modern period through biased interpretations that were construed without any detailed knowledge of ancient Egyptian religion, hieroglyphs, and sources. As a growing number of Egyptian images and texts became available through the nineteenth century, these materials tended to be incorporated into existing narratives rather than being used to question them. Against this historical background, Nyord argues that we need to return to the indigenous sources and shake off the Christian expectations that continue to shape scholarly and popular thinking about the ancient Egyptian afterlife.<br /><br />Open Access at <a href="https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/98954" rel="nofollow">https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/98954</a></div></div><div class="button-container"><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-view" href="https://www.academia.edu/128007808/2025_Yearning_for_Immortality_The_European_Invention_of_the_Ancient_Egyptian_Afterlife"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">description</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View Paper</span></a><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/121653458/download_file?st=MTc0MzI4NTA5MSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=topics-page-work-card" rel="nofollow"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">arrow_downward</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download</span></a></div></div><script>document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { const moreLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.more'); moreLinks.forEach(link => { const summary = link.closest('.summary'); const summarized = summary.querySelector('.summarized'); const complete = summary.querySelector('.complete'); // Only show more link if we have both summarized and complete content if (!summarized || !complete) { link.style.display = 'none'; return; } link.addEventListener('click', (e) => { e.preventDefault(); summarized.classList.add('hidden'); complete.classList.remove('hidden'); // Hide the more link since we don't want to toggle back link.style.display = 'none'; }); }); }); // To allow for closing the author dropdown when clicking outside of it document.addEventListener('click', (event) => { const dropdowns = document.querySelectorAll('details.authors-dropdown'); dropdowns.forEach(dropdown => { if (!dropdown.contains(event.target) && dropdown.hasAttribute('open')) { dropdown.removeAttribute('open'); } }); });</script></div><div class="div"><div class="work-card-container"><div class="title"><a attrs="data-click-track topics--work-card-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/128007439/Arte_y_Cosmotecnica">Arte y Cosmotecnica</a></div><div class="authors">by <a href="https://eur.academia.edu/YukHui">Yuk Hui</a></div><div class="work-metadata"><p class="ds-work-card--detail ds2-5-body-sm">2025</p></div><div class="summary"><div class="summarized">En 1964, Heidegger postuló que la función histórica de la filosofía de proporcionar una explicación unificada del mundo estaba quedando obsoleta.

La cibernética la había vencido, como disciplina capaz de dar cuenta tanto de la interacción de una célula con su entorno hasta del comportamiento humano o el funcionamiento de una computadora. La proclama de Heidegger del “fin de la filosofía” venía acompañada de una importante advertencia: este nuevo ethos tecnológico corre el riesgo de adoptar una actitud colonizadora hacia los seres humanos y el mundo natural. Por ese motivo, sugiere Yuk Hui en este libro, es que Heidegger recurre a artistas como Cézanne y Paul Klee, buscando descubrir una relación más ética entre la vida humana y la naturaleza. Este diálogo que cruza arte, filosofía y tecnología constituye el eje central de Arte y cosmotécnica. Recuperando los interrogantes de sus anteriores trabajos, Hui insiste en la posibilidad de superación de la modernidad desde una perspectiva no europea, esta vez tomando la experiencia estética china como camino para imaginar formas de tecnodiversidad.<br /><br />Se trate de pinturas rupestres o de imágenes hechas con inteligencia artificial, el arte siempre dependió de la técnica como medio para expresarse. Esta imbricación es tal que observar la técnica a partir del arte nos permite reconocer de manera intuitiva su participación en un orden moral y cósmico determinado. A través de un recorrido comparativo entre la tragedia griega y la pintura de paisaje china –la pintura shan shui– Hui diferencia dos grandes modos de pensamiento estético (y filosófico). Mientras que la razón occidental se define por una lógica de discontinuidad trágica plagada de intentos por afirmar lo que Hegel llamó el “derecho superior de la Idea contra la naturaleza”, el arte chino exhibe una lógica de continuidad oposicional que se identifica con la noción taoísta de xuan. Esta dinámica pone la continuidad y la armonía por encima de la discontinuidad y la ruptura: shan y shui, “montaña” y “agua”, representan dos polos contrapuestos que se relacionan sin subordinarse, como el yin y el yang. Esta óptica nos abre a un modo de vinculación no instrumental con el mundo natural que se distancia del implacable proyecto tecnoextractivista moderno.</div></div><div class="button-container"><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-view" href="https://www.academia.edu/128007439/Arte_y_Cosmotecnica"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">description</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View Paper</span></a><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/121653091/download_file?st=MTc0MzI4NTA5MSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=topics-page-work-card" rel="nofollow"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">arrow_downward</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download</span></a></div></div><script>document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { const moreLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.more'); moreLinks.forEach(link => { const summary = link.closest('.summary'); const summarized = summary.querySelector('.summarized'); const complete = summary.querySelector('.complete'); // Only show more link if we have both summarized and complete content if (!summarized || !complete) { link.style.display = 'none'; return; } link.addEventListener('click', (e) => { e.preventDefault(); summarized.classList.add('hidden'); complete.classList.remove('hidden'); // Hide the more link since we don't want to toggle back link.style.display = 'none'; }); }); }); // To allow for closing the author dropdown when clicking outside of it document.addEventListener('click', (event) => { const dropdowns = document.querySelectorAll('details.authors-dropdown'); dropdowns.forEach(dropdown => { if (!dropdown.contains(event.target) && dropdown.hasAttribute('open')) { dropdown.removeAttribute('open'); } }); });</script></div><div class="div"><div class="work-card-container"><div class="title"><a attrs="data-click-track topics--work-card-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/128005900/UN_SEXE_AU_SOLEIL_G%C3%A9r%C3%B4me_Taillandier">UN SEXE AU SOLEIL, Gérôme Taillandier</a></div><div class="authors">by <a href="https://independent.academia.edu/TAILLANDIERG">Gérôme TAILLANDIER</a></div><div class="work-metadata"><p class="ds-work-card--detail ds2-5-body-sm">2025</p></div><div class="summary"><div class="summarized">Cependant les langues indo-européennes du sud de l'Europe ont adopté un Soleil masculin.

The evolution of the image has been traced in the historical context: in connection with political circumstances, religious ideas and myth-making of poets. The change in the semantics and role of the character is analyzed. Particular attention is paid to a previously unexplored topic — the significance of Pan in the art and religion of the Northern Black Sea region, where Pan acquires the function of the guide of the soul of the deceased to the afterlife. The specificity of Pan, his difference from other Olympic deities, lies in<br />his continuous changes, from a character of a rural cult to a stoic “god of the universe”. The ability to quickly adapt to different cultural and historical contexts was partly due to the lack of a written tradition, but the main reason is the universal nature of the deity. In the history of the image, several periods of special interest in the character are distinguished. In the classical period in Attica, he joins the local gods who help the Greeks<br />defeat the Persians, and his iconography converges with images of other heroes and gods. The next stage of rethinking the image occurs in the Hellenistic period, from the 3rd century BC. The mythology of Pan is<br />enriched with genre and erotic subjects. A poetic view of the shepherd god appears in bucolic poetry and art; Pan’s presence in a real or imaginary landscape becomes a sign of a sacred landscape. This perception of the<br />image of the god becomes relevant in the ideology of the Golden Age of Augustus. The last, most prolonged episode of Pan’s popularity is associated with the subjects of the Dionysian circle on Roman sarcophagi of the 1st–3rd centuries. Pan appears in his traditional role as a participant in libations and love scenes that take place in the other world, opening the way to the eternal life of the soul.</div></div><div class="button-container"><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-view" href="https://www.academia.edu/127926392/Pan_as_a_Character_in_Ancient_Art_from_the_6th_Century_BC_to_the_3rd_Century_AD_Semantics_of_the_Image_in_Historical_Contexts"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">description</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View Paper</span></a><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/121585874/download_file?st=MTc0MzI4NTA5MSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=topics-page-work-card" rel="nofollow"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">arrow_downward</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download</span></a></div></div><script>document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { const moreLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.more'); moreLinks.forEach(link => { const summary = link.closest('.summary'); const summarized = summary.querySelector('.summarized'); const complete = summary.querySelector('.complete'); // Only show more link if we have both summarized and complete content if (!summarized || !complete) { link.style.display = 'none'; return; } link.addEventListener('click', (e) => { e.preventDefault(); summarized.classList.add('hidden'); complete.classList.remove('hidden'); // Hide the more link since we don't want to toggle back link.style.display = 'none'; }); }); }); // To allow for closing the author dropdown when clicking outside of it document.addEventListener('click', (event) => { const dropdowns = document.querySelectorAll('details.authors-dropdown'); dropdowns.forEach(dropdown => { if (!dropdown.contains(event.target) && dropdown.hasAttribute('open')) { dropdown.removeAttribute('open'); } }); });</script></div><div class="div"><div class="work-card-container"><div class="title"><a attrs="data-click-track topics--work-card-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/127925318/When_God_was_a_Woman_From_the_Phocaean_Cult_of_Athena_to_Parmenides_Ontology">When God was a Woman꞉ From the Phocaean Cult of Athena to Parmenides' Ontology</a></div><div class="authors">by <a href="https://independent.academia.edu/MarcoMontagnino">Marco Montagnino</a></div><div class="work-metadata"><p class="ds-work-card--detail ds2-5-body-sm">2025, Open Theology</p></div><div class="summary"><div class="summarized">The aim of this article is to present a new hermeneutic perspective on Parmenides' theology, which, it is argued, will also have consequences for our understanding of his ontology.

Before this disaster occurred, a deity, Ahura Mazda, offered a means of salvation: to build underground cities to protect themselves from the frost. Could there be some truth in this story, which seems to come straight out of a science fiction novel? <br /> <br />What you see in the photo is Derinkuyu, a mysterious underground city located in the Cappadocia region of Turkey. According to archaeologists, the center of this city already existed 2,800 years ago, at least 8 centuries before Christ. We're talking about an entire city, excavated at a depth of 85 meters, capable of housing up to 20,000 people. But it's likely that the natural caves also predate that date. <br /> <br />Derinkuyu is not a simple cave: it is a complex structure, with 18 underground levels, including wells, chapels, stables, schools and even areas dedicated to the production of wine and oil. Some parts of the city show traces of reuse in medieval times, with the addition of Christian religious structures, but the original nucleus dates back to a much more ancient era. <br /> <br />The city was “rediscovered” only in 1963, when a man, during renovations to his house, accidentally found a tunnel leading to this underground world. Since then, Derinkuyu has become one of the most fascinating examples of ancient human ingenuity. <br /> <br />Derinkuyu is not an isolated case. As modern technology allows us to explore the underground world, we are discovering that underground cities and tunnel networks are a widespread phenomenon all over the world: <br /> <br />Egypt: Beneath the Giza Plateau, there is a vast underground system of caverns, artificial tunnels and rivers. Some researchers, such as Dr. Selim Hassan, have documented passages that extend for kilometers, suggesting that the ancient Egyptians (or perhaps an earlier civilization) knew advanced excavation techniques. <br /> <br />Guatemala: Beneath the Mayan pyramid complex of Tikal, 800 kilometers of tunnels have been mapped, many of which are still unexplored. <br /> <br />China: In 1992, 24 artificial caves were discovered in the province of Zhejiang, excavated with incredible precision. It is estimated that 36,000 cubic meters of stone were removed to build them. <br /> <br />Europe: Thousands of Stone Age tunnels, called “Erdstall”, extend across the continent, leaving archaeologists perplexed as to their original purpose. <br /> <br />Today we know that about 12,000 years ago, the Earth was hit by a sudden and intense ice age, called the Younger Dryas. This event, which lasted about 1,300 years, caused a drastic drop in temperature and disrupted global ecosystems. Is it possible that the “days of Malkush” narrated by Zoroaster are a distorted memory of this cataclysm? And if so, were underground cities like Derinkuyu built to protect themselves from the frost? <br /> <br />But there's more: what, or who, were the ancients protecting themselves from when they dug these cities? How could people who, theoretically, didn't know iron or the wheel, create such complex works? Even with 21st-century technology, building a city like Derinkuyu would take decades of work. <br /> <br />What is our past hiding from us? Is it possible that advanced civilizations, now forgotten, have left traces of their passage under our feet?</div></div><div class="button-container"><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-view" href="https://www.academia.edu/127913264/THE_GREAT_FROST_AND_UNDERGROUND_CITIES"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">description</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View Paper</span></a><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/121605245/download_file?st=MTc0MzI4NTA5MSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=topics-page-work-card" rel="nofollow"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">arrow_downward</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download</span></a></div></div><script>document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { const moreLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.more'); moreLinks.forEach(link => { const summary = link.closest('.summary'); const summarized = summary.querySelector('.summarized'); const complete = summary.querySelector('.complete'); // Only show more link if we have both summarized and complete content if (!summarized || !complete) { link.style.display = 'none'; return; } link.addEventListener('click', (e) => { e.preventDefault(); summarized.classList.add('hidden'); complete.classList.remove('hidden'); // Hide the more link since we don't want to toggle back link.style.display = 'none'; }); }); }); // To allow for closing the author dropdown when clicking outside of it document.addEventListener('click', (event) => { const dropdowns = document.querySelectorAll('details.authors-dropdown'); dropdowns.forEach(dropdown => { if (!dropdown.contains(event.target) && dropdown.hasAttribute('open')) { dropdown.removeAttribute('open'); } }); });</script></div><div class="div"><div class="work-card-container"><div class="title"><a attrs="data-click-track topics--work-card-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/127895445/Di_Melusine_e_Gorgoni_Entit%C3%A0_mostruose_femminili_tra_passato_e_presente_Edizioni_Quasar_Roma_2024">Di Melusine e Gorgoni.

Questo implica che i racconti di cui erano protagoniste, nelle loro differenti attestazioni, siano oggetto di analisi come se riflettessero gli odierni rapporti di genere e la loro interpretazione viene condizionata dalle diverse visioni contrapposte che in merito animano su più fronti il dibattito e l’attivismo contemporaneo. Questo porta alla pressoché totale distorsione di quelle che erano le peculiarità effettive di tali entità, il fraintendimento del loro potenziale simbolico e il mancato riconoscimento delle molteplici funzionalità che ricoprivano a seconda dei contesti, dei luoghi e delle fasi storiche di narrazione. Da qui, quanto all’opposto caratterizza invece i contributi raccolti in questo volume: l’esame puntuale della documentazione per ricostruire, in rapporto a questi esseri, caratteristiche, simbologie e funzionalità contestuali a un determinato ambiente storico-culturale; il seguire nel tempo il modificarsi di questi tratti in relazione ai cambiamenti intervenuti nei quadri storici e culturali di riferimento; la demistificazione delle letture attualizzanti.<br /><br />Igor Baglioni - Maria Luisa Caldognetto - Nathalie Roelens, Introduzione<br />Piero Capelli, “Nostra seconda parente”.

In this paper dealing with Seth the Gleaming One, hitherto known only from a single attestation listed as Stẖ-ṯḥn “der glänzende Seth” in Leitz’s Lexikon der ägyptischen Götter und Götterbezeichnungen, I have identified four new occurrences of this obscure deity from sources as varied as Pap. Berlin P. 8278, the Edfu Temple, the small Amun temple at Medinet Habu, and the mammisi of the Roman temple of Tutu at Kellis in Dakhleh Oasis. Among other things, this study shows that Seth the Gleaming One, in most cases depicted as a member of the Lesser Ennead, is a fighter, as indicated by his epithets “strong of arm, violent in the House of Fighting,” who, unlike the evil Seth, is perceived positively. Thus, the ancient Egyptians had apparently found a way to deal with Seth’s ambiguous nature by splitting him into a good and an evil god.</div></div><div class="button-container"><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-view" href="https://www.academia.edu/127889583/_Seth_the_Gleaming_One_in_A_Master_of_Secrets_in_the_Chamber_of_Darkness_Egyptological_Studies_in_Honor_of_Robert_K_Ritner_Presented_on_the_Occasion_of_His_68th_Birthday_edited_by_Foy_D_Scalf_and_Brian_P_Muhs_pp_73_85_SAC_3_Chicago_Institute_for_the_Study_of_Ancient_Cultures_2024"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">description</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View Paper</span></a><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/121555407/download_file?st=MTc0MzI4NTA5MSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=topics-page-work-card" rel="nofollow"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">arrow_downward</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download</span></a></div></div><script>document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { const moreLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.more'); moreLinks.forEach(link => { const summary = link.closest('.summary'); const summarized = summary.querySelector('.summarized'); const complete = summary.querySelector('.complete'); // Only show more link if we have both summarized and complete content if (!summarized || !complete) { link.style.display = 'none'; return; } link.addEventListener('click', (e) => { e.preventDefault(); summarized.classList.add('hidden'); complete.classList.remove('hidden'); // Hide the more link since we don't want to toggle back link.style.display = 'none'; }); }); }); // To allow for closing the author dropdown when clicking outside of it document.addEventListener('click', (event) => { const dropdowns = document.querySelectorAll('details.authors-dropdown'); dropdowns.forEach(dropdown => { if (!dropdown.contains(event.target) && dropdown.hasAttribute('open')) { dropdown.removeAttribute('open'); } }); });</script></div><div class="div"><div class="work-card-container"><div class="title"><a attrs="data-click-track topics--work-card-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/127883759/P_Survey_61_Rules_of_a_Priestly_Association">P.

Exceptuando a la localidad Cerro Colorado, que cuenta con una amplia trayectoria en investigaciones, se trata de un área con escasos antecedentes y sobre la cual se provee información mayormente inédita. Para su estudio, la principal vía de indagación refiere a la (re)producción de imágenes rupestres como medio para la comunicación y flujos de información visual en el nivel regional y macrorregional, cuya configuración se halla atravesada por otras materialidades que, en conjunto, permiten proponer la existencia de una red arqueológica con proyecciones políticas y territoriales. Tales evidencias, constituidas por instalaciones de molienda y cerámicas decoradas, se analizan de forma complementaria, aportando una mirada integral de las dinámicas socioculturales que contribuyeron a la construcción del paisaje social indígena durante el Holoceno tardío final (ca.1550-450 años AP). Las grandes instalaciones de molienda, por su capacidad para congregar a personas con distintos orígenes, posiblemente las constituyó en espacios potenciales para la transferencia de códigos visuales y patrones iconográficos, que luego se distribuyeron en los repertorios rupestres. Estas dinámicas también pudieron favorecer la circulación y variabilidad de las cerámicas decoradas. En ambos casos, la heterogeneidad en términos estilísticos y temáticos que caracteriza a los repertorios reflejaría un paisaje multiétnico, lo que habría desalentado el surgimiento de un estilo emblemático con amplitud geográfica, como se verifica en el centro oeste de la región. En este contexto, caracterizado por un conjunto de particularidades e improntas que refieren a procesos locales atravesados por pautas compartidas a mayor escala, es posible señalar un paisaje sociocultural constituido por grupos interconectados en el nivel regional, con fronteras permeables a la circulación de información y bienes materiales, pero con límites internos que habrían condicionado las dinámicas culturales. Este escenario, quizás, explica las dificultades en torno a las definiciones sobre las entidades arqueológicas que ocuparon el área y cuya discusión es retomada en este trabajo.  <br />Palabras clave: circulación de información-flujos visuales-arte rupestre-instalaciones de molienda-cerámicas decoradas.</div></div><div class="button-container"><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-view" href="https://www.academia.edu/127877083/CONSTRUCCI%C3%93N_SIGNIFICATIVA_DEL_ENTORNO_EN_AMBARGASTA_NORTE_DE_C%C3%93RDOBA_ARGENTINA_UN_ABORDAJE_DESDE_LAS_IM%C3%81GENES_RUPESTRES_LA_MOVILIDAD_Y_LA_CIRCULACI%C3%93N_DE_INFORMACI%C3%93N"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">description</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View Paper</span></a><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/121545236/download_file?st=MTc0MzI4NTA5MSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=topics-page-work-card" rel="nofollow"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">arrow_downward</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download</span></a></div></div><script>document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { const moreLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.more'); moreLinks.forEach(link => { const summary = link.closest('.summary'); const summarized = summary.querySelector('.summarized'); const complete = summary.querySelector('.complete'); // Only show more link if we have both summarized and complete content if (!summarized || !complete) { link.style.display = 'none'; return; } link.addEventListener('click', (e) => { e.preventDefault(); summarized.classList.add('hidden'); complete.classList.remove('hidden'); // Hide the more link since we don't want to toggle back link.style.display = 'none'; }); }); }); // To allow for closing the author dropdown when clicking outside of it document.addEventListener('click', (event) => { const dropdowns = document.querySelectorAll('details.authors-dropdown'); dropdowns.forEach(dropdown => { if (!dropdown.contains(event.target) && dropdown.hasAttribute('open')) { dropdown.removeAttribute('open'); } }); });</script></div><div class="div"><div class="work-card-container"><div class="title"><a attrs="data-click-track topics--work-card-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/127859976/How_Jacob_Became_Israel_From_Flawed_Faith_to_Trust">How Jacob Became Israel: From Flawed Faith to Trust</a></div><div class="authors">by <a href="https://independent.academia.edu/KDH4">Kel Hammond</a></div><div class="work-metadata"><p class="ds-work-card--detail ds2-5-body-sm">2025</p></div><div class="summary"><div class="summarized">Jacob's life, sprawling across roughly 25 chapters of Genesis, is one of the Bible's most intricate tales of transformation.

More ink is devoted to him than to Noah or Abraham; his story rivals the epic stories of David and Moses, eclipsed only by the Lord Jesus Christ. <br />He was transformed by God from a cunning "heel-grabber" to Israel, meaning "he who strives with God." Jacob's journey is no mere historical record-it echoes the turbulent path of the nation of Israel, as Micah notes the lame made a remnant (Mic 4:6-7) and Zephaniah of the halting people redeemed (Zeph 3:19). <br />Significantly, it also speaks to every soul seeking to know God and to walk in faith. His life was a gauntlet: overlooked by his father, threatened by his brother, cheated by his uncle, gripped by fear, and disciplined by God. <br />Yet, at the end of his life, he testified that God had always been with him-"God… hath fed me all my life long unto this day… The Angel which redeemed me from all evil" (Gen 48:15-16). <br />This essay delves into how God reshaped Jacob's flawed faith into trust through relentless trials-a process Paul captures: "It is God who works in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure" (Phil 2:13)-and how this can mirror our own spiritual forging. <br />In an important way, Jacob's transformation stands as a pattern or example of every person's transformation, all who seek to walk in spirit and in truth (John 4:23).</div></div><div class="button-container"><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-view" href="https://www.academia.edu/127859976/How_Jacob_Became_Israel_From_Flawed_Faith_to_Trust"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">description</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View Paper</span></a><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/121582528/download_file?st=MTc0MzI4NTA5MSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=topics-page-work-card" rel="nofollow"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">arrow_downward</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download</span></a></div></div><script>document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { const moreLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.more'); moreLinks.forEach(link => { const summary = link.closest('.summary'); const summarized = summary.querySelector('.summarized'); const complete = summary.querySelector('.complete'); // Only show more link if we have both summarized and complete content if (!summarized || !complete) { link.style.display = 'none'; return; } link.addEventListener('click', (e) => { e.preventDefault(); summarized.classList.add('hidden'); complete.classList.remove('hidden'); // Hide the more link since we don't want to toggle back link.style.display = 'none'; }); }); }); // To allow for closing the author dropdown when clicking outside of it document.addEventListener('click', (event) => { const dropdowns = document.querySelectorAll('details.authors-dropdown'); dropdowns.forEach(dropdown => { if (!dropdown.contains(event.target) && dropdown.hasAttribute('open')) { dropdown.removeAttribute('open'); } }); });</script></div><div class="div"><div class="work-card-container"><div class="title"><a attrs="data-click-track topics--work-card-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/127854963/Otherness_and_Sameness_in_Hungarian_Ethnology_and_beyond">Otherness and Sameness in Hungarian Ethnology and beyond</a></div><div class="authors">by <a href="https://mta.academia.edu/CsabaM%C3%A9sz%C3%A1ros">Csaba Mészáros</a></div><div class="work-metadata"><p class="ds-work-card--detail ds2-5-body-sm">2025, History of Anthropology Review 49 </p></div><div class="summary"><div class="summarized">Anthropology is often identified as an academic discipline that explores human diversity and the concept of Otherness (see Leistle 2017), offering an opportunity for the anti-hegemonic presentation of plural lifeworlds (Bertelsen and... <a class="more u-tcGrayDark u-linkUnstyled" href="#">more</a></div><div class="complete hidden">Anthropology is often identified as an academic discipline that explores human diversity and the concept of Otherness (see Leistle 2017), offering an opportunity for the anti-hegemonic presentation of plural lifeworlds (Bertelsen and Bendixen 2016: 8). The focus on Otherness has therefore been considered a prominent paradigm, an epistemological basis for anthropological scholarship (Leistle 2015). The earliest instruction for collecting ethnological data compiled by Gerhard Friedrich Müller in 1740, for his follower Johann Eberhard Fischer, accordingly emphasizes the need for collecting "curiosities" that can be contrasted with European experiences (Bucher 2002; Gisi 2007). However, not all (proto-) anthropologies focused on presenting alterity and contrasting non-European peoples with their European counterparts. In Hungary and a few other (semi-) peripheral academic circles in Europe, the concept of Sameness and similarity occupied a significant role in the development of non-European studies. This two hundred year-old anthropological research legacy is not just a methodological curiosity; it has significantly impacted the field and the research environment for Hungarian anthropologists in Siberia and Inner Asia. The widespread assumption of a common origin based on a shared nomadic heritage, and hence an indelible bond between Hungarian anthropologists and local Turco-Mongolic peoples in Asia, remains a prevalent condition of fieldwork in this area.</div></div><div class="button-container"><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-view" href="https://www.academia.edu/127854963/Otherness_and_Sameness_in_Hungarian_Ethnology_and_beyond"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">description</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View Paper</span></a><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/121526095/download_file?st=MTc0MzI4NTA5MSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=topics-page-work-card" rel="nofollow"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">arrow_downward</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download</span></a></div></div><script>document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { const moreLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.more'); moreLinks.forEach(link => { const summary = link.closest('.summary'); const summarized = summary.querySelector('.summarized'); const complete = summary.querySelector('.complete'); // Only show more link if we have both summarized and complete content if (!summarized || !complete) { link.style.display = 'none'; return; } link.addEventListener('click', (e) => { e.preventDefault(); summarized.classList.add('hidden'); complete.classList.remove('hidden'); // Hide the more link since we don't want to toggle back link.style.display = 'none'; }); }); }); // To allow for closing the author dropdown when clicking outside of it document.addEventListener('click', (event) => { const dropdowns = document.querySelectorAll('details.authors-dropdown'); dropdowns.forEach(dropdown => { if (!dropdown.contains(event.target) && dropdown.hasAttribute('open')) { dropdown.removeAttribute('open'); } }); });</script></div><div class="div"><div class="work-card-container"><div class="title"><a attrs="data-click-track topics--work-card-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/127834525/%CE%91%CE%BD%CF%84%CE%B9%CF%8C%CF%80%CE%B7_Antiope_Euripides_reconstructed_tragedy_in_English_verse_with_Prologue_Translation_Notes_and_Commentary_in_Modern_Greek">Αντιόπη (“Antiope”) - Euripides' reconstructed tragedy, in English verse, with Prologue, Translation, Notes & Commentary in Modern Greek</a></div><div class="authors">by <a href="https://independent.academia.edu/ChrisTsirkas">Chris Tsirkas</a></div><div class="work-metadata"><p class="ds-work-card--detail ds2-5-body-sm">2025, Αντιόπη</p></div><div class="summary"><div class="summarized">Free e-book, soon available at Google Books and Apple books.

Ο γάμος του Κάδμου με την Αρμονία, την κόρη του Άρη και της Αφροδίτης, δημιούργησε μια γενιά απογόνων καταραμένων από τη θεία οργή, εξαιτίας της ύβρεως του Κάδμου να καυχηθεί ότι παντρεύτηκε την κόρη του Άρη με τελετή πιο μεγαλοπρεπή από τα συμπόσια των Ολύμπιων θεών.<br /><br />Στην ευρύτερη περιοχή της αρχαίας Βοιωτίας ζούσε η Αντιόπη, κόρη του Νυκτέα, ενός τοπικού ήρωα. Η Αντιόπη ήταν γνωστή για την ομορφιά και τη χάρη της. Ο Νυκτέας και ο αδελφός του, Λύκος, αναγκάστηκαν να καταφύγουν στη Θήβα, όταν κατηγορήθηκαν για φόνο. Ο Νυκτέας διορίστηκε στη βασιλική φρουρά από τον βασιλιά Πενθέα, εγγονό του Κάδμου. Ο αδελφός του Νυκτέα, Λύκος, έγινε τελικά αντιβασιλέας της Θήβας μετά τον θάνατο του Πενθέα (βλ. «Βάκχες» του Ευριπίδη), καθώς οι απόγονοι του τελευταίου δεν ήταν σε ηλικία να αναλάβουν τη βασιλεία. Τα βάσανα της Αντιόπης αρχίζουν όταν μένει έγκυος από τον θεό Δία. Λόγω της ντροπής του πατέρα της και της λαϊκής κατακραυγής, αναγκάστηκε να φύγει από τη Θήβα. Κατέφυγε στην κοντινή πόλη Σικυώνα, όπου γνώρισε και παντρεύτηκε τον βασιλιά Επωπέα, που την ερωτεύτηκε. Η εξέλιξη των γεγονότων καθορίστηκε σύντομα από την οργή του θείου της, Λύκου —ο οποίος επιθυμούσε την εξουσία και έβλεπε στην Αντιόπη μια απειλή για την κυριαρχία του, ως κόρη του αδελφού του. Ο Λύκος, που εκείνη την εποχή ήταν ήδη άρχοντας της Θήβας, την καταδίωκε αμείλικτα: επιτέθηκε τελικά στη Σικυώνα, νίκησε τον Επωπέα και αιχμαλώτισε την Αντιόπη, εκπληρώνοντας την τελευταία επιθυμία του Νυκτέα —ο οποίος στο μεταξύ είχε πεθάνει από ντροπή.<br /><br />Καθώς η Αντιόπη μεταφερόταν αιχμάλωτη από τη Σικυώνα στη Θήβα, ήταν ετοιμόγεννη. Στις πλαγιές του όρους Κιθαιρώνα, στη μέση της διαδρομής και υπό δύσκολες συνθήκες, έφερε στον κόσμο δίδυμα αγόρια, τον Αμφίονα και τον Ζήθο. Ο Λύκος άφησε τα νεογέννητα στο έλεος της φύσης, βέβαιος ότι δεν θα επιβιώσουν. Ωστόσο, τα δίδυμα βρέθηκαν και ανατράφηκαν από έναν καλοσυνάτο βοσκό, ο οποίος δεν γνώριζε την ευγενή καταγωγή τους. Η σύζυγος του Λύκου, η Δίρκη, μια γυναίκα ζηλόφθονη και γεμάτη σκληρότητα, έγινε η δυνάστρια της Αντιόπης, όταν η τελευταία έφτασε στη Θήβα. Δεμένη και φυλακισμένη, η Αντιόπη υπέμεινε ατελείωτους εξευτελισμούς και πόνο από τη Δίρκη, που τη θεωρούσε αντίζηλο και σύμβολο της απιστίας του συζύγου της. Παρά τα πολλά χρόνια της αιχμαλωσίας της, η ψυχή της Αντιόπης παρέμεινε άκαμπτη.<br /><br />Η τραγωδία ξεκινάει όταν η Αντιόπη —μετά από χρόνια αιχμαλωσίας και με τη βοήθεια του θεού Διονύσου— καταφέρνει να δραπετεύσει από τα δεσμά της Δίρκης. Ελεύθερη πλέον, επιστρέφει στη σπηλιά του Κιθαιρώνα όπου είχε γεννήσει, απελπισμένη να βρει κάποιο ίχνος των χαμένων γιων της. Εδώ, η προσωπική της ιστορία συναντά τη μοίρα, προετοιμάζοντας το έδαφος για την επικείμενη αναγνώρισή της από τους γιους της, την εκδίκηση που θα πάρουν οι τελευταίοι από τη Δίρκη και την αποκατάσταση της θέσης τους. Καθώς ξετυλίγεται η τραγωδία, τα βάσανα του παρελθόντος τα διαδέχεται η ελπίδα για θεϊκή δικαιοσύνη, καθώς οι κλωστές της μοίρας υφαίνουν έναν καμβά αγάπης, αδίστακτης εκδίκησης και θείας τιμωρίας —όχι όμως με τον τρόπο που θα περίμεναν οι πρωταγωνιστές του δράματος.<br /><br />Η καταγωγή της Αντιόπης τη συνδέει με τον περίπλοκο ιστό της θηβαϊκής μυθολογίας, η οποία χαρακτηρίζεται από τη θεϊκή τιμωρία και εκδικητικότητα. Παρ’ όλο που η Αντιόπη δεν είναι άμεση απόγονος του Κάδμου, η ιστορία της επηρεάζεται από την κατάρα η οποία πλήττει τον βασιλικό Οίκο του. Αυτή η κατάρα, η οποία προέρχεται από την ύβρη του Κάδμου, ρίχνει μια βαριά σκιά πάνω από τη Θήβα και όλους τους άρχοντές της.<br /><br />Η «Αντιόπη» υφαίνει μια αφήγηση που επιχειρεί να αποτυπώσει την ουσία της Αττικής Τραγωδίας, συμπυκνώνοντας θέματα δικαιοσύνης, εκδίκησης, ταυτότητας, καθώς και της μεταμορφωτικής δύναμης της τέχνης. Μέσα από την πλοκή και την ανάπτυξη των χαρακτήρων, αυτή η τραγωδία στοχεύει να προσφέρει μια βαθιά εξερεύνηση της ανθρώπινης οδύνης και της αναζήτησης για λύτρωση, με φόντο την ανθρώπινη αδυναμία απέναντι στη θεϊκή τιμωρία.<br /><br />Οι περισσότεροι στίχοι που έχουν βρεθεί στα σπαράγματα της «Αντιόπης» του Ευριπίδη έχουν χρησιμοποιηθεί, σε θέσεις κοντά σε αυτές που προτείνοντα σε διάφορες ακαδημαϊκές εργασίες σχετικά με πιθανές ανακατασκευές της δραματουργίας του Ευριπίδη. Αυτοί οι στίχοι έχουν ενσωματωθεί απρόσκοπτα σ' αυτό το έργο, για να ενισχύσουν την αυθεντικότητά του. Ωστόσο, έπρεπε να ληφθεί μια σημαντική δραματουργική και ποιητική ελευθερία, δεδομένου του μικρού αριθμού των διασωθέντων στίχων του πρωτοτύπου.</div></div><div class="button-container"><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-view" href="https://www.academia.edu/127834525/%CE%91%CE%BD%CF%84%CE%B9%CF%8C%CF%80%CE%B7_Antiope_Euripides_reconstructed_tragedy_in_English_verse_with_Prologue_Translation_Notes_and_Commentary_in_Modern_Greek"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">description</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View Paper</span></a><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/121561582/download_file?st=MTc0MzI4NTA5MSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=topics-page-work-card" rel="nofollow"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">arrow_downward</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download</span></a></div></div><script>document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { const moreLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.more'); moreLinks.forEach(link => { const summary = link.closest('.summary'); const summarized = summary.querySelector('.summarized'); const complete = summary.querySelector('.complete'); // Only show more link if we have both summarized and complete content if (!summarized || !complete) { link.style.display = 'none'; return; } link.addEventListener('click', (e) => { e.preventDefault(); summarized.classList.add('hidden'); complete.classList.remove('hidden'); // Hide the more link since we don't want to toggle back link.style.display = 'none'; }); }); }); // To allow for closing the author dropdown when clicking outside of it document.addEventListener('click', (event) => { const dropdowns = document.querySelectorAll('details.authors-dropdown'); dropdowns.forEach(dropdown => { if (!dropdown.contains(event.target) && dropdown.hasAttribute('open')) { dropdown.removeAttribute('open'); } }); });</script></div><div class="div"><div class="work-card-container"><div class="title"><a attrs="data-click-track topics--work-card-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/127816148/%D0%9F%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%B3%D1%83%D1%82%D0%B0_%D0%98_%D0%92_%D0%9B%D0%B8%D1%86%D0%B0_%D0%B4%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%BE_%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%BE%D1%88%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%BE_%D0%BC%D0%B5%D0%BB%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%8F_%D0%BF%D0%BB%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B0_%D0%B4%D0%BE%D0%B8%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%87%D0%B5%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B8%D1%85_%D0%BA%D1%83%D0%BB%D1%8C%D1%82%D1%83%D1%80_%D0%91%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%B3%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%B8_%D0%B2_%D1%81%D0%B2%D0%B5%D1%82%D0%B5_%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B5%D0%B9%D1%88%D0%B8%D1%85_%D0%B8%D1%81%D1%81%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B9_%D0%A0%D0%B5%D1%86_%D0%BD%D0%B0_%D0%BA%D0%BD_%D0%A1%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%B2%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%B2%D0%B0_%D0%92_%D0%90%D0%BD%D1%82%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%BF%D0%BE%D0%BC%D0%BE%D1%80%D1%84%D0%BD%D0%B0_%D0%BF%D0%BB%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B0_%D0%BE%D1%82_%D0%BA%D1%8A%D1%81%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%8F_%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B5%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%B8%D1%82_%D0%B2%D1%8A%D0%B7%D0%BC%D0%BE%D0%B6%D0%BD%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B8_%D0%B7%D0%B0_%D0%B8%D0%BD%D1%82%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%B5%D1%82%D0%B0%D1%86%D0%B8%D1%8F_%D0%A1%D0%BE%D1%84%D0%B8%D1%8F_2024_301_p_283_p_Terra_Artis_%D0%98%D1%81%D0%BA%D1%83%D1%81%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B2%D0%BE_%D0%B8_%D0%B4%D0%B8%D0%B7%D0%B0%D0%B9%D0%BD_2024_4_%D0%A1_157_162">Палагута И.В.
