These critically diverse and innovative essays are aimed at restoring the social context of ancient Greek drama. Theatrical productions, which included music and dancing, were civic events in honor of the god Dionysos and were attended by a politically stratified community, whose delegates handled all details from the seating arrangements to the qualifications of choral competitors. The growing complexity of these performances may have provoked the Athenian saying "nothing to do with Dionysos" implying that theater had lost its exclusive focus on its patron. This collection considers how individual plays and groups of dramas pertained to the concerns of the body politic and how these issues were presented in the convention of the stage and as centerpieces of civic ceremonies. The contributors, in addition to the editors, include Simon Goldhill, Jeffrey Henderson, David Konstan, Franois Lissarrague, Oddone Longo, Nicole Loraux, Josiah Ober, Ruth Padel, James Redfield, Niall W. Slater, Barry Strauss, and Jesper Svenbro.

The Aldine edition of the Bakchai, edited by Markos Mou souros, was published nearly five hundred years ago in 1503. The play has been read and studied ever since. Scholarly study of the play has been intense for the last two hundred years. The relevant parallel passages and many of the irrelevant ones have long since been collected and are readily available in excellent commentaries. In view of this, the play should by now be thoroughly explained and well understood. This, however, is not the case. If anything, the play seems to have become more obscure and challenging with the 1 passage of time. Twentieth-century scholars often refer to the problem or even the riddle of the play. There are at least three reasons why the play appears problem atic. One of these is the peculiar concept of the Dionysiac experi ence with which twentieth-century scholars approach the play. A recent interpreter at the beginning of his study writes: ''The Dionys iac includes the dissolution of limits, the spanning of logical con tradictions, the suspension of logically imposed categories, and the exploration of in-betweenness and reversibility in a spirit that may veer abruptly from play and wonder to unrestrained savagery. ,,2 Dionysos is understood as the god of the irrational or, more specifi cally, the god of the antirational. He dissolves basic principles in volved in human perception of the world.

Albert Henrichs' important and wide-ranging work on the Greek god Dionysos is well known to classical philologists and to all those interested in Greek culture and its modern reception. Fifteen fundamental studies of the most fascinating and compelling of Greek gods are reprinted in this third volume of his Collected Papers, together with a comprehensive index making the riches of Henrichs' scholarship more readily accessible. The volume will thus become a basic work of reference. The papers are organised in four groups dealing with the identity and nature of Dionysos; his myths, cults, and iconography; maenads and maenadic ritual; and modern reception and understanding of Dionysos and the Dionysiac. Among the papers included are "Changing Dionysiac Identities," "Myth Visualised: Dionysos and His Circle in Sixth-Century Attic Vase-Painting," "Between Country and City: Cultic Dimensions of Dionysos in Athens and Attica," "Der rasende Gott: Zur Psychologie des Dionysos and des Dionysischen in Mythos und Literatur," "Dionysische Imaginationswelten: Wein, Tanz, Erotik," "Greek Maenadism from Olympias to Messalina," and "Loss of Self, Suffering, Violence: The Modern View of Dionysos from Nietsche to Girard."

This volume presents an essential but underestimated role that Dionysus played in Greek and Roman political thought. Written by an interdisciplinary team of scholars, the volume covers the period from archaic Greece to the late Roman Empire. The reader can observe how ideas and political themes rooted in Greek classical thought were continued, adapted and developed over the course of history. The authors (including four leading experts in the field: Cornelia Isler-Kerényi, Jean-Marie Pailler, Richard Seaford andRichard Stoneman) reconstruct the political significance of Dionysus by examining different types of evidence: historiography, poetry, coins, epigraphy, art and philosophy. They discuss the place of the god in Greek city-state politics, explore the long tradition of imitating Dionysus that ancient leaders, from Alexander the Great to the Roman emperors, manifested in various ways, and shows how the political role of Dionysus was reflected in Orphism and Neoplatonist philosophy. Dionysus and Politics provides an excellent introduction to a fundamental feature of ancient political thought which until now has been largely neglected by mainstream academia. The book will be an invaluable resource to students and scholars interested in ancient politics and religion.

Given the dearth of non-messianic interpretations of Psalm 110:1 in non-Christian Second Temple Jewish texts, why did it become such a widely used messianic prooftext in the New Testament and early Christianity? Previous attempts to answer this question have focused on why the earliest Christians first began to use Ps 110:1. The result is that these proposals do not provide an adequate explanation for why first century Christians living in the Greek East employed the verse and also applied it to Jesus’s exaltation. I contend that two Greco-Roman politico-religious practices, royal and imperial temple and throne sharing—which were cross-cultural rewards that Greco-Roman communities bestowed on beneficent, pious, and divinely approved rulers—contributed to the widespread use of Ps 110:1 in earliest Christianity. This means that the earliest Christians interpreted Jesus’s heavenly session as messianic and thus political, as well as religious, in nature.

As the perpetual stranger Dionysos is the embodiment of strangeness. He is nowhere at home, and yet in another sense the world is his home. Detienne evokes the manic activity of Dionysos in myths that connect him with the shedding of blood, the pouring of wine, and the ejaculation of semen.

We know the specific strengths of various cities, are aware of their ranking, are able to discuss their density and growth. But what do all cities have in common, what do we know about the “lowest common denominator”? The “city as a species”, the “primal genetic material of the city”: this is the subject of A Quantum City. This colossal work is a love letter to the city and intellectual culture. We follow the fictional narrative figure, Orlando, beginning in 320 BC, on his odyssey through the Western world up to the present time. The book is divided into four interrelated chapters and can be read page by page in a discursive manner, however randomly browsing through the book also offers new and multi-faceted interpretations. Great intellectual achievements are compared with obscure and mundane events. A Quantum City offers an inspiring view of the city that is in us and around us.

A single full-length play loosely based on the Greek myth of Dionysos and encompassing a whole range of European dramatic traditions. The play deals with the contrast of man as beast (our essential nature) and as civilised being (embracing morals, nature and decorum).
