Prayers, Curses, Prophecies? Contents, Forms and Contexts of Religious Speech in archaic and classical Greece (C01)

这个项目旨在探索古希腊和古典希腊的“宗教演讲”能力。这里的一个主要重点是正确的宗教沟通的教育要求。史诗，阿提卡戏剧和史学将分析方面的不同类型的或多或少受过教育的宗教发言（例如祈祷，诅咒和说出预言）。主要问题涉及宗教言论的适当内容、形式和背景、性别问题、社会地位和人类发言者的教育以及神作为宗教交流中的听众和潜在回应参与者的作用。

This project aims to explore the competence of ‘religious speech’ in archaic and classical Greece. A main focus here is on the educational requirements for correct religious communication. Archaic epic, Attic drama and historiography will be analyzed in regard to different types of more or less educated religious speaking (e.g. praying, cursing and uttering prophecies). Key questions treat the subject of adequate contents, forms and contexts of religious speech, gender issues, social status and education of human speakers as well as the role of the gods as addressees and potentially responding participants in religious communication.
