| Summary: | Der vorliegende Band untersucht die vielfach verflochtenen Beziehungen zwischen Religion, Bildung und Wissen in den antiken griechischen Kulturen. Während die Einbettung der griechischen Religion in die Gesellschaft in der modernen Wissenschaft wiederholt thematisiert worden ist, fehlt eine eingehende Betrachtung der sozio-religiösen Aspekte von Bildung und Wissen. Die Beiträge fragen nach Kontexten, Akteuren und Medien, durch die Religion, Bildung und Wissen innerhalb und außerhalb spezifischer Gemeinschaften vermittelt wurden. Der chronologische Rahmen erstreckt sich von der Klassik bis zur Spätantike. Durch die Untersuchung eines vielfältigen Spektrums von Zeugnissen, sowohl aus literarischen Quellen als auch aus der materiellen Kultur, beleuchtet dieser Band die Vielfalt der Vermittlungswege griechischer Religion und das umfassende »Gepäck an Wissen«, das für die Durchführung der Rituale erforderlich war.InhaltsübersichtI.

While in modern scholarship Greek religion has been widely studied as embedded in society, the socio-religious aspects of education and knowledge have not yet been investigated in depth. The essays look for contexts, agents, and media through which religion, education, and knowledge were shared and transmitted within and beyond a community. The chronological framework extends from the classical period to late antiquity and covers the eastern and part of the western Greek Mediterranean. Examining a diverse range of evidence from both literary sources and material culture, this volume highlights the variety of Greek religious education and the comprehensive baggage of knowledge required for performing rituals.Survey of contentsI.
