Sommario/riassunto

Ce recueil d'articles en épigraphie grecque est destiné à honorer l'œuvre de Stephen V. Tracy dont la recherche méticuleuse sur les "mains" - ou styles - des graveurs a transformé notre perception des inscriptions d'Attique et d'au-delà.  Les vingt-neuf érudits qui ont contribué à ce volume présentent des articles qui dévoilent de nouvelles inscriptions ou de nouvelles études sur des textes connus depuis longtemps, mais aussi traitent de questions historiques, religieuses et sociales. Ainsi sont étudiées la Grèce, la Mer Egée et l'Asie Mineure occidentale sur une période qui s'étend de l'époque archaïque à l'Empire romain. Le point commun de ces Mélanges réside dans le caractère central de l'épigraphie, tant dans les problèmes soulevés que dans la conviction qu'un soin minutieux porté au moindre détail d'un témoignage épigraphique peut élargir et enrichir notre compréhension de l'histoire grecque.  This collection of studies in Greek epigraphy honors the work of Stephen V. Tracy. His meticulous research on the hands of Attic letter-cutters has transformed the way we think about Greek inscriptions in Attica and beyond.  The twenty-nine scholars who have contributed to this volume offer papers ranging from publication of new inscriptions and studies of others long-known to wide-ranging discussions of historical, religious, and social matters. Chronologically and geographically they cover Greece, the Aegean, and western Asia Minor from the Archaic period to the Roman Empire. What unites the work here offered to Tracy is the centrality of epigraphy to the questions addressed and conviction that careful attention to even the smallest details of the epigraphic evidence can advance our understanding of the Greek past in rich and unexpected ways.

Sommario/riassunto

Scholars have long recognized the relevance to Christianity of the many stories surrounding the life of Alexander the Great, who claimed to be the son of Zeus. But until now, no comprehensive effort has been made to connect the mythic life and career of Alexander to the stories about Jesus and to the earliest theology of the nascent Christian churches. Ory Amitay delves into a wide range of primary texts in Greek, Latin, and Hebrew to trace Alexander as a mythological figure, from his relationship to his ancestor and rival, Herakles, to the idea of his divinity as the son of a god. In compelling detail, Amitay illuminates



both Alexander's links to Herakles and to two important and enduring ideas: that of divine sonship and that of reconciliation among peoples.
