Historical and Religious Memory in the Ancient World
Beate Dignas
This book presents twelve interdisciplinary studies on memory and how ancient Mediterranean cultures configured their pasts in art, texts, and religious practices. It examines how the past is controlled in various processes of selection, manipulation, and erasure - always with purposes specific to particular cultures and contexts.
