Zusammenfassung: | This book was first published in 2004. Plato, Aristophanes and the creators of the 'Orphic' gold tablets employ the traditional tale of a journey to the realm of the dead to redefine, within the mythic narrative, the boundaries of their societies. Rather than being the relics of a faded ritual tradition or the products of Orphic influence, these myths can only reveal their meanings through a close analysis of the specific ways in which each author makes use of the tradition. For these authors, myth is an agonistic discourse, neither a kind of sacred dogma nor a mere literary diversion, but rather a flexible tool that serves the wide variety of uses to which it is put. The traditional tale of the journey to the Underworld in Greek mythology is neither simple nor single, but each telling reveals a perspective on the cosmos, a reflection of the order of this world through the image of the other |

Plato, Aristophanes and the creators of the 'Orphic' gold tablets employ the traditional tale of a journey to the realm of the dead to redefine, within the mythic narrative, the boundaries of their societies. Rather than being the relics of a faded ritual tradition or the products of Orphic influence, these myths can only reveal their meanings through a close analysis of the specific ways in which each author makes use of the tradition. For these authors, myth is an agonistic discourse, neither a kind of sacred dogma nor a mere literary diversion, but rather a flexible tool that serves the wide variety of uses to which it is put. The traditional tale of the journey to the Underworld in Greek mythology is neither simple nor single, but each telling reveals a perspective on the cosmos, a reflection of the order of this world through the image of the other Plato / Phaedo Aristophanes / Frogs Aristophanes v445-v385 Ranae (DE-588)4320137-4 gnd rswk-swf Plato v427-v347 Phaedo (DE-588)4006824-9 gnd rswk-swf Lamellae aureae Orphicae Orphicae Lamellae (DE-588)4699336-8 gnd rswk-swf Mythology, Greek Voyages to the otherworld Dionysia Mythology, Greek, in literature Voyages to the otherworld in literature Mythologie (DE-588)4041005-5 gnd rswk-swf Unterwelt Motiv (DE-588)4187121-2 gnd rswk-swf Unterwelt (DE-588)4062048-7 gnd rswk-swf Griechenland Altertum (DE-588)4093976-5 gnd rswk-swf Griechenland Altertum (DE-588)4093976-5 g Mythologie (DE-588)4041005-5 s Unterwelt (DE-588)4062048-7 s 1\p DE-604 Plato v427-v347 Phaedo (DE-588)4006824-9 u Unterwelt Motiv (DE-588)4187121-2 s 2\p DE-604 Aristophanes v445-v385 Ranae (DE-588)4320137-4 u 3\p DE-604 Orphicae Lamellae (DE-588)4699336-8 u 4\p DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe 978-0-521-83434-6 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe 978-1-107-40730-5 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe 0-521-83434-1 (DE-604)BV019385278 https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511497896 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 4\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
