Description
Dionysos erscheint innerhalb der modernen Wissens- und Darstellungsformationen oft als untypisch für die antike Kultur, als Ausnahme im Kontext des antiken Polytheismus, ja als Instanz einer Differenz, die die Moderne antizipiert. Was können neuere Forschungen zum genaueren Verständnis der vielfältigen Transformationen des antiken Gottes beitragen? Dieser Frage widmen sich Vertreter aller Bereiche der Altertumswissenschaften in diesem Band, der aus einer internationalen Tagung im März 2009 im Berliner Pergamonmuseum hervorgeht. Vasenbilder und Heiligtümer werden dabei ebenso berücksichtigt wie Texte antiker Dramatiker, Historiker und Philosophen, Papyri und Inschriften. Die Stärke des Bandes liegt in dieser Quellen- und Methodenvielfalt, aus der sich ein umfassendes, facettenreiches Bild des „differenten“ Gottes ergibt.
