It argues that the character of Greek divination differed fundamentally from that of the two comparanda. Ample attention is given to background and method at first. Subsequent chapters discuss the divinatory elements ? sign, homo divinans , and text, relating divination to time and uncertainty. This book brings together sources originating from various times and places, questioning these to consider both generalities of ancient divination and specifics of Greek divination. Greek divination was inherently flexible on many levels: these findings should be connected to Greek views on time and the future as well as the relatively low level of divinatory institutionalization. 410 0$aReligions in the Graeco-Roman World$v176. 606 $aDivination$zGreece 606 $aOracles, Greek 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aDivination 615 0$aOracles, Greek. 676 $a133.30938 700 $aBeerden$b Kim$0909688 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463290503321 996 $aWorlds full of signs$92035645 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03361nam 2200673Ia 450 001 9910465740603321 005 20211005193750.0 010 $a0-19-802304-9 010 $a1-4237-4064-5 010 $a1-60256-039-0 010 $a1-280-45118-1 010 $a0-19-509645-2 010 $a0-19-988002-6 035 $a(CKB)2560000000294314 035 $a(EBL)241257 035 $a(OCoLC)475955838 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000192561 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11196299 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000192561 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10186988 035 $a(PQKB)10750094 035 $a(StDuBDS)EDZ0000024472 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC241257 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL241257 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10086901 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL45118 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC829466 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL829466 035 $a(OCoLC)778339523 035 $a(EXLCZ)992560000000294314 100 $a19930224d1994 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aLincoln in American memory$b[electronic resource] /$fMerrill D.

When the president was struck down at his moment of triumph, writes Merrill Peterson, ""sorrow--indescribable sorrow"" swept the nation. After lying in state in Washington, Lincoln's body was carried by a special funeral train to Springfield, Illinois, stopping in major cities along the way; perhaps a million people viewed the remains as memorial orations rang out and the world chorused its sincere condolences. It was the apotheosis of the martyred President--the beginning of the transformation of a man into a mythic hero.
