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代和古典希腊“宗教演讲”的能力。这里主要关注的是正确的宗教交流的教育要求。古代史诗，阁楼戏剧和史学将分析不同类型的或多或少受过教育的宗教讲话（例如祈祷，诅咒和说出预言）。关键问题涉及宗教言论的适当内容、形式和背景、性别问题、人类说话者的社会地位和教育，以及神在宗教传播中作为说话者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.
