Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book transports readers back to ancient Greece and invites them to a wedding in Athens, the cultural center of the ancient world. The narrative unfolds as if in real-time, following all the colorful rituals, traditions, and religious symbolism in a typical Athenian marriage ceremony. In doing so, the author provides a rare glimpse into how ancient Greeks, whose societal norms often differed dramatically from ours, lived their daily lives and organized their communities. The author, an expert in the field of ancient Greek culture, approaches the subject not simply as a historical or cultural phenomenon but as a complex interplay of social, cultural, and religious forces. Beyond the lively and detailed accounts of various rituals, customs, and beliefs, the book provides in-depth analyses of how these functioned within the context of ancient Greek religious traditions, social structures, and the role of women, children, and slaves within the household. Laying bare the foundations of Greek marriages helps us understand, by contrast, the significant differences and striking similarities between the ancient Greek world and our own.
