    Summer School - Prehistory and Antiquity

    Mapping Ancient Gods

    ERC Advanced Grant MAP project (Mapping Ancient Polytheisms. Cult Epithets as an Interface between Religious Systems and Human Agency)

    The ERC Advanced Grant MAP project (Mapping Ancient Polytheisms. Cult Epithets as an Interface between Religious Systems and Human Agency; 741182; http://map-polytheisms.huma-num.fr1) works on the naming systems for the divine in the Greek and Western Semitic worlds, from 1000 BCE to 400 CE and views them as testimonies to the way in which divine powers are constructed, arranged and involved within ritual. The analysis deals both with the structural aspects of the religious systems and with their contextual appropriation by social participants. Considered to be elements of a complex language, the onomastic channels are related to the gods, therefore providing access to a mapping process of the divine, to its ways of representation and to the communication strategies between men and gods.Within this framework, the MAP Team proposes a Summer School in collaboration with the French Research Centre in Jerusalem (http://www.crfj.org) which covers the project’s themes and tools.

    Invitation to an interdisciplinary dialogue around the Homeric corpus

    Readings of Homer at the Center For Hellenic Studies

    N’a t-on pas tout dit sur Homère et les épopées monumentales « qui ont éduqué la Grèce » et qui continuent à nous éduquer ? Malgré l’étude continue de ces poèmes fabuleux, les grandes questions demeurent ouvertes : datation, lieu de composition, auteur, diffusion, formation des épopées monumentales, modes de composition et de transmission… Les travaux menées au CHS par Douglas Frame, Leonard Muellner et Gregory Nagy adoptent une approche résolument interdisciplinaire, tout en partant de l’étude philologique minutieuse des textes, considérée comme le cadre indispensable et le fondement de toute recherche et interrogation sur l’épopée.
