Daimones and daimonia throng ancient Greek literature, but evade definition; in some traditions they seem to be gods, in others, dead humans, and in others still, intermediate spirits between man and god. One fruitful way of approaching the host of overlapping and competing ideas about and representations of daimones is through considering the question of the spaces and places where they lived and worked, which were often (although not only) marginal: chthonic and heavenly, rural and urban, domestic and liminal, interior and exterior, microcosmic and macrocosmic. This book explores spatial and locative notions of daimones through thirteen essays on a range of Greek texts and objects from the archaic to Byzantine periods, encompassing epigraphy, epic and bucolic poetry, philosophy, tragedy and comedy, magical papyri, and early Christian scriptural exegesis and doctrinal treatises. These essays explore the dominant terms and images that �locate� daimones in the cosmos and natural world, and the range of spaces in which they were operated and between which they moved: the heavens, the earth, and the underworld; desert and city; and specific locations in the Greek world and near east. They also examine the more contained and intimate relationships between daimones and humans, considering the drama of possession (a daimonic �indwelling�), and ideas of daimones as creatures close in nature to human souls. This book thus illuminates continuities and changes in ideas about the relationship between daimones� habitats and movements, and their ontology, history, habits, and functions, in over a millennium of Greek thought.

Excerpt: The Ourea (The Mountains) were the Protogenoi gods or Daimones (spirits) of the mountains. Each mountain was said to have their own. They were usually depicted as old men rising up from the mountain side. Attis, a life-death-rebirth deity, was both the son and the lover of Cybele, her eunuch attendant and driver of her lion-driven chariot; he was driven mad by her and castrated himself. Attis was originally a local semi-deity of Phrygia, associated with the great Phrygian trading city of Pessinos, which lay under the lee of Mount Agdistis. The mountain was personified as a daemon, whom foreigners associated with the Great Mother Cybele. The story of his origins from Agdistis, as told to the traveller Pausanias, have some distinctly non-Greek elements: Pausanias was told that the daemon Agdistis initially bore both male and female attributes. But the Olympian gods, fearing Agdistis, cut off the male organ and cast it away. There grew up from it an almond-tree, and when its fruit was ripe, Nana who was a daughter of the river Sangarios picked the fruit and laid it in her bosom. It at once disappeared, but she was with child. In time a boy was born and exposed on the hillside, but the infant was tended by a he-goat. As Attis grew, his long-haired beauty was godlike, and Agdistis as Cybele, then fell in love with him. But the foster parents of Attis...

Dan Amenta wakes up one morning to discover the world has changed...the Apocalypse has arrived. Death, destruction, and disaster are spreading around the globe. Yet Dan and his family remain untouched. He begins to fear they are the only three people left alive on Earth. They are not. Efforts to survive and make contact with others reveal disturbing truths about the human extermination. Dan finds Laura who discloses even more. Her presence - a young, sexy, disruptive girl - adds questions about what is moral and ethical in this new reality. Then supernatural experiences reported by other survivors force Dan to seek explanations from his own past. Memories of childhood hallucinations strike him with sledgehammer force, bringing him face-to-face with a secret millions of years old. Planet Earth is in the hands of an older power, one Dan never envisioned and dares not disobey... "Even with the best of intentions, cruelty is just around the corner."

Jon D. Mikalson examines how Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, and other Greek philosophers described, interpreted, criticized, and utilized the components and concepts of the religion of the people of their time - practices such as sacrifice, prayer, dedications, and divination. The chief concepts involved are those of piety and impiety, and after a thorough analysis of the philosophical texts Mikalson offers a refined definition of Greek piety, dividing it into its two constituent elements of `proper respect' for the gods and `religious correctness'. He concludes with a demonstration of the benevolence of the gods in the philosophical tradition, linking it to the expectation of that benevolence evinced by popular religion.
