520 |a The imagined universe of the people of Late Antiquity was heavily populated by gods. Even the broader philosophical trends and monotheistic foundation of Judaism and Christianity had failed to entirely diminish their power. How then did Jews and Christians cope with such a backdrop presence of "other gods"? Earlier research suggested that Jewish attitudes, which found their way into early Christian sources as well, fluctuate between accommodation and rejection. Following analysis of Jewish and Christian Late Antique literary traditions dealing with gods, and more specifically, goddesses, this article aims to demonstrate that such "fluctuation" resulted - in addition to the extreme positions - in a variety of middle of the road strategies. These strategies point to a keen harmonizing impulse to absorb - via domestication - motifs with mythic religious vitality from the broader cultural repository.
