Content: Ancient religions are definitely complex systems of gods, which resist our understanding. Divine names provide fundamental keys to gain access to the multiples ways gods were conceived, characterized, and organized. Among the names given to the gods many of them refer to spaces: cities, landscapes, sanctuaries, houses, cosmic elements. They reflect mental maps which need to be explored in order to gain new knowledge on both the structure of the pantheons and the human agency in the cultic dimension. By considering the intersection between naming and mapping, this book opens up new perspectives on how tradition and innovation, appropriation and creation play a role in the making of polytheistic and monotheistic religions. Far from being confined to sanctuaries, in fact, gods dwell in human environments in multiple ways. They move into imaginary spaces and explore the cosmos. By proposing a new and interdsiciplinary angle of approach, which involves texts, images, spatial and archaeological data, this book sheds light on ritual practices and representations of gods in the whole Mediterranean, from Italy to Mesopotamia, from Greece to North Africa and Egypt. Names and spaces enable to better define, differentiate, and connect gods.

Content: Divine Names are a key component in the communication between humans and gods in Antiquity. Their complexity derives not only from the impressive number of onomastic elements available to describe and target specific divine powers, but also from their capacity to be combined within distinctive configurations of gods. The volume collects 36 essays pertaining to many different contexts - Egypt, Anatolia, Levant, Mesopotamia, Greece, Rome - which address the multiple functions and wide scope of divine onomastics. Scrutinized in a diachronic and comparative perspective, divine names shed light on how polytheisms and monotheisms work as complex systems of divine and human agents embedded in an historical framework. Names imply knowledge and play a decisive role in rituals; they move between cities and regions, and can be translated; they interact with images and reflect the intrinsic plurality of divine beings. This vivid exploration of divine names pays attention to the balance between tradition and innovation, flexibility and constraints, to the material and conceptual parameters of onomastic practices, to cross-cultural contexts and local idiosyncrasies, in a word to human strategies for shaping the gods through their names.

Series Statement: Histoire

Content: Dans les mondes antiques comme pour d’autres périodes historiques, les liens du fait religieux avec le social et les conduites de vie constituent un thème privilégié de l’histoire culturelle. La religion a une fonction d’intégration et de socialisation en tant que cadre éthique et normatif déterminant l’action des individus et des communautés. Elle offre un cadre propice à la transmission de valeurs, de référents et de comportements constitutifs de la dynamique du souvenir culturel. Une perspective sur le long terme a été adoptée ici sur le rôle de la mémoire, dans un cadre élargi au monde gréco-romain. Cette dimension revêt une importance particulière, puisqu’elle engage à réfléchir à d’éventuelles évolutions ou transferts des pratiques. Il s’agit donc de scruter les efforts de mémoire dont nos sources témoignent dans la sphère des pratiques religieuses, en lien avec la construction des identités.
