The Strange Significance of the Name Carpocrates in Early Christian Polemic
In this philological study we establish and reckon with the fact that the nameCarpocrates was exceedingly rare and strange in antiquity. The rarity, we argue, was due to the name being a variant spelling or (purposeful) misspelling of the Greco-Egyptian deity Harpokrates. We also show how bizarre an...

The rarity, we argue, was due to the name being a variant spelling or (purposeful) misspelling of the Greco-Egyptian deity Harpokrates.

We further explain how both the rarity and strangeness of the name functioned as a polemical weapon in the hands of some early Christian writers. | ||
