The volume focuses on the various representations of the Beyond in later Antiquity, a period of intense interaction and competition between various religious traditions and ideals of education. The concepts and images clustering around the Beyond form a crucial focal point for understanding the dynamics of religion and education in later Antiquity. Although Christianity gradually supersedes the pagan traditions, the literary representations of the Beyond derived from classical literature and transmitted through the texts read at school show a remarkable persistence: they influence Christian late antique writers and are still alive in medieval literature of the East and West. A specifically Christian Beyond develops only gradually, and coexists subsequently with pagan ideas, which in turn vary according to the respective literary and philosophical contexts. Thus, the various conceptualisations of the great existential unknown, serves here as a point of reference for mirroring the changes and continuities in Imperial and Late Antique religion, education, and culture, and opening up further perspectives into the Medieval world.

The primary objective of this study is to decipher the 'codes' or polysemous signs of many prominent myths of the Graeco-Roman and Near Eastern worlds and thereby to expose their hidden economic meaning. The study is highlighted by analyses of the following themes: Birth of Athena from Zeus' Head, Perseus and the Gorgon, and Gilgamesh in the Cedar Forest; Oedipus of Thebes and the biblical myth of the Five Golden Tumors; Semele the daughter of Kadmos; Heroic Twins; Labors of Herakles; Cain, Janus, and the Rainbow; Dogs as Merchants and Male Prostitutes; Virgin Priestesses in Treasuries; Danae and the Birth of Perseus and the biblical myth of the 'House of Rahab'; Circuiting Gods; Contest Between Athena and Poseidon for Supremacy in Athens; and Hermes versus Apollo, David and his Lyre at King Saul's Court, and Gilgamesh the Infernal Musician. A striking result of these studies is the extent to which ancient myths are saturated by economic content, especially commercial idioms and the standardized gestures required of contractors. It becomes quite clear that the ancients were far more aware of and interested in the economy than many contemporary scholars give them credit for.

Kurzbeschreibung: In diesem Buch ist alles zusammengetragen, was heutzutage über die Göttin Nehalennia zu finden ist und mit überraschenden neuen Sichtweisen ergänzt. Es wird das Land ihrer Verehrung - Zeeland - historisch und aktuell beschrieben und die Geschichte ihrer Votivaltäre ausführlich dargestellt. Einige Dutzend besonders schöne Nehalennia-Steine sind abgebildet, teilweise in mehreren historischen Darstellungen oder auch in aktuellen Fotos, soweit sie noch existieren. Ausführlich wird das historische Umfeld, auch die hydrogeografischen Entwicklungen von der Jungsteinzeit bis in die beginnende Neuzeit beschrieben. Dies und die Siedlungsgeschichte Zeelands wird mit teilweise neu gezeichneten Karten illustriert. Das Zeitalter der römischen Besetzung, die Zeit des Nehalenniakultes wird aus verschiedenen Perspektiven plastisch beschrieben. Ausführliche Erörterungen gelten der Herkunft des Namens Nehalennia, ihrer Einflusssphäre als Göttin und den mit ihr zusammen abgebildeten Symbolen. Schließlich wird dargestellt, in welcher Form die Göttin heutzutage in Kunst und Religion wieder lebendig geworden ist. Ein ausführliches Stichwortverzeichnis rundet das Werk ab. Klappentext: In den ersten Jahrhunderten nach der Zeitenwende, als das römische Reich sich weit nach Norden erstreckte, gab es an der westlichen Nordseeküste eine Göttin, die von Römern, Kelten und Germanen geschätzt und verehrt wurde. Dennoch wird sie in keiner schriftlichen Quelle aus dieser Zeit genannt. Erst 1647 taucht ihr Name auf, NEHALENNIA in Stein gemeißelt. Und das nicht nur einmal, nein, es wurden viele ihr gewidmete Altäre gefunden. Dieses Buch erzählt über diese Funde, beschreibt in Wort und Bild eine reiche Auswahl der Altarsteine und skizziert dann ein umfassendes Bild, das den Nehalennia-Kult in seine Zeit setzt; ihr Land, ihre Bedeutung, ihre Verehrer und das damit zusammenhängende Umfeld werden in einen möglichen historischen Kontext gebracht. Das abschließende Kapitel zeigt, dass diese Göttin heute wieder auf vielerlei Weisen in den Herzen und Köpfen der unterschiedlichsten Menschen lebt ? eine Göttin ohne Mythologie, aber mit einer fesselnden Geschichte!
