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

该项目旨在探索古希腊和古典希腊的“宗教言论”能力。这里主要关注的是正确的宗教交流的教育要求。古代史诗、阁楼戏剧和历史学将根据不同类型的受过或多或少教育的宗教讲话(例如祈祷、咒骂和说预言)进行分析。关键问题涉及宗教言论的适当内容、形式和背景、性别问题、社会地位和人类说话者的教育，以及神在宗教交流中作为受话人和可能作出回应的参与者的作用。

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.
