Initiation in Ancient Greek Rituals and Narratives: New Critical Perspectives


Overview

Scholars of classical history and literature have far more than a century accepted ""initiation"" as a tool for understanding a variety of obscure rituals and myths, ranging from the ancient Greek wedding and adolescent haircutting rituals to initiatory motifs or structures in Greek myth, comedy and tragedy. In this book, an international group of experts critique many of these past studies, and challenge strongly the tradition of privileging the concept of initiation as a tool for studying social performances and literary texts, in which changes in status or group membership occur in unusual ways.
