Abstract:

For many years, scholars have entertained the idea that monotheism appeared in Second Isaiah as a result of Zoroastrian influence. Since the issue of monotheism is inappropriate for either the Persian or the Judaean contexts, this paper argues that a more fruitful angle to pursue the Persian context of Isaiah is through analysis of the concept of creation. This paper takes the Achaemenid creation prologues in the Old Persian inscriptions as a comparator for the use of creation in Second Isaiah, and places these two in a broader ancient Near Eastern context of creation mythology. It is argued t

Abstract This article demonstrates that Isa 45:1–19 is a pro-Persian oracle of well-being, promising the Achaemenid emperor that he will conquer Egypt, and subsequently impugning the theological ignorance of the Egyptians. The Egyptians misspeak in saying that Yhwh is a “Hidden God” like their own Amun (45:15). The unique title, the only reference to divine hiding that uses the reflexive hithpael, was chosen to echo the reflexive formulations in Egyptian texts (including during the early Persian Period) describing Amun’s self-hiding. Two other aspects of Amun’s mythology as creator are also al

Abstract:

The narrative spanning 1 Enoch 6–11 is often regarded as an apocalyptic Jewish response to the rise of Hellenistic imperialism, but a re-examination of its contents points to the demise of the Persian empire as the background to its redaction. The narrative rejects the imperial mythology sustained throughout the Achaemenid period and by extension, the priestly-scribal curriculum in Jerusalem supported by it that yielded works like Ezra-Nehemiah and Chronicles. Consequently, the redactors of 1 Enoch 6–11 re-read and repudiate those works and their assumptions about Jewish identity and foreign i

Europeans have imagined India as a land of fabulous riches and exotic legends since the time of ancient Greece.

When, after 1498, explorers from Portugal, Holland, England, Denmark, and France began to establish trade links with the subcontinent, it seemed the legends were true; rare spices, silks, gold, and precious stones were transported to Europe and added fuel to already inflamed imaginations.

The unilateral portrayal of Alexander III of Macedon as an Oriental despot has influenced various interpretations regarding his relationship with religion. An intriguing dilemma arose: did the greatest conqueror of antiquity remain faithful to traditional Hellenic religion, or did the noticeable changes in his behaviour and mode of governance also lead to the acceptance of foreign deities from different regions of the conquered Persian Empire? The use of narrative, numismatic and epigraphic sources suggests an answer to this quandary. Until the end of his life, Alexander maintained piety and s

The present paper analyzes the origins of certain motifs of demonizing the “other” in classical Islamic tradition. It reveals the main trends in the development of this mythologem based off of textual analysis. The material for the analysis is a body of Arabic and Persian texts of different genres: history (al-Tabari, al-Juwayni, Khvandamir, Sharaf al-Din Bidlisi), geography ('adja’ib), folklore (“The Thousand and One Nights”), epic poetry (Firdawsi, Nizami), and theological literature (Muhammad al-Tusi). Motifs such as the hero marching to a land infested by demonic enemies and demonizing bla

Abstract:

The paper concerns scholia – the least developed, but a very important genre of ancient literature. Scholia were regarded in Antiquity and the early Middle Ages as a critical literary genre, which task was to comment on the literary text, and thus to facilitate its reading and comprehension. Scholiasts were often also ancient scholars and therefore the notes written in the margins of manuscripts were of high scientific value. Numerous themes and issues addressed by the scholiasts were firstly acknowledged and studied by scientists from the previous era, but since then they continued their pres

The article examines the history of the image of Pan in ancient art, from the 6th century BC to the 3rd century AD. 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.

Abstract:

Abstract The census narrative in 1 Chr 21 draws from the earlier version of the episode preserved in 2 Sam 24, which followed a mythological pattern we encounter in “crisis episodes” deriving from the monarchic era. The Chronicler introduces changes that not only depart from his source material on the literary level; they also break with the older mythological patterns found in earlier crisis episodes. These departures result from the influence of Persian imperial mythology on the Chronicler’s writing, with implications for the Chronicler’s own mythological agenda within his rendition of the c

Abstract:

Alcohol has been known to people of Central Asia for millennia, and in line with local mythology, wine was used as an anaesthetic for the Caesarean birth of the mythical hero Rostam. In classical Farsi-Dari (Persian) literature, the term alcohol and/or wine is used in two different contexts; firstly, as an allegory; referring to a ‘divine wine’ and as a source of spiritual intoxication bringing the consumer closer to his Creator. This school of thoughts is symbolised by Rumi and Sufi poets; secondly, as a source of physical intoxication, bringing the drinker happiness and the ability to forget

Myth is the form of expression of humanity in its primitive stage and of the deficiency of language in relation to thought. It is situated in the dream and in the unconscious, mainly collective (archetypes), showing conflicts of the human soul, sometimes transmitted phylogenetically. The psychoanalyst starts from a myth that is individualized, and above all, hidden, and the shaman starts from the collective myth, already known and consecrated by the culture. If ancient man followed the course of some myth, modern man follows his own myth. Man would be the son of gods and demons, a struggle bet

Abstract This paper explores the concept of reverse psychology as it applies to the transformation of cultural and intellectual symbols, focusing on the swastika as a case study. Once a universal symbol of good fortune and harmony originating in Asia, the swastika was repurposed by the Nazi regime in Germany, becoming associated with violence and supremacy. This ideological shift demonstrates how the symbolic identity of cultural artifacts can be dramatically altered when appropriated by external entities for political agendas, which often results in the cultural and psychological alienation o

Abstract It is widely agreed that Thucydides’ Melian dialogue presents the Athenian invasion of Melos, and the Athenian justification, in a negative light. Attention tends to focus on the immorality of ‘the rule of the stronger’ that the Athenians present in the dialogue. This essay argues that another feature of the dialogue triggering negative judgements of the Athenians is their criticism of the Melians’ resistance: it is voiced by the Athenians themselves and therefore provokes in readers a ‘speaker-relative’ normative judgement of the Athenians.

The religion of Phoenicia was based on a polytheistic system. The high degree of political fragmentation of the city kingdoms of the Levantine coast implied that each center had its own pantheon, characterized by specific features although structurally similar to that adopted in other cities. Usually, at the top of this system was placed a couple of divinities, considered as polyadic entities, owners of the territory. Thus, for example, Byblos was dominated by the Baalat Gubal (literally the "Lady of Byblos") and by a local Baal (identified by the Greeks with Adonis), while in Sidon, at the he

The study found that Mughal garden design is much influenced by the Persianâ€™s ChÄhÄrBÄgh, Hindu mythology and Quranic paradise imagery.
