Foundation myths, particularly those about the beginnings of cities and societies, played an important role in the dynamics of identity construction and in the negotiation of diplomatic relationships between communities. Yet many ancient communities had not one but several foundation myths, offering alternative visions and interpretations of their collective origins. Seeking to explain this plurality, Foundation Myths in Ancient Societies explores origin stories from a range of classical and ancient societies, covering both a broad chronological span (from Greek colonies to the high Roman empire) and a wide geographical area (from the central Mediterranean to central Asia). Contributors explore the reasons several different, sometimes contradictory myths might coexist or even coevolve. Collectively, the chapters suggest that the ambiguity and dissonance of multiple foundation myths can sometimes be more meaningful than a single coherent origin narrative. Foundation Myths in Ancient Societies argues for a both/and approach to foundation myths, laying a framework for understanding them in dialogue with each other and within a wider mythic context, as part of a wider discourse of origins.

Final conclusions.Languages show variations according to the social class of speakers and Latin was no exception, as readers of Petronius are aware. The Romance languages have traditionally been regarded as developing out of a 'language of the common people' (Vulgar Latin), but studies of modern languages demonstrate that linguistic change does not merely come, in the social sense, 'from below'. There is change from above, as prestige usages work their way down the social scale, and change may also occur across the social classes. This book is a history of many of the developments undergone by the Latin language as it changed into Romance, demonstrating the varying social levels at which change was initiated. About thirty topics are dealt with, many of them more systematically than ever before. Discussions often start in the early Republic with Plautus, and the book is as much about the literary language as about informal varieties.Social Variation & the Latin LanguageLatin languageHistoryLatin languageVariationLatin languageSocial aspectsLatin languageInfluence on RomanceLatin languageOrthography and spellingLatin languageGrammarLatin languageGrammar, ComparativeRomanceRomance languagesGrammar, ComparativeLatinLatin language, VulgarLatin philologyLatin languageHistory.Latin languageVariation.Latin languageSocial aspects.Latin languageInfluence on Romance.Latin languageOrthography and spelling.Latin languageGrammar.Latin languageGrammar, ComparativeRomance.Romance languagesGrammar, ComparativeLatin.Latin language, Vulgar.Latin philology.470/.9LCO003000bisacshAdams J.
