Addressing this gap, the essays in this volume focus on the individual and individuality in ancient Mediterranean religion. Even in antiquity, individual religious action was not determined by traditional norms handed down through families and the larger social context, but rather options were open and choices were made. On the part of the individual, this development is reflected in changes in 'individuation', the parallel process of a gradual full integration into society and the development of self-reflection and of a notion of individual identity. These processes are analysed within the Hellenistic and Imperial periods, down to Christian-dominated late antiquity, in both pagan polytheistic as well as Jewish monotheistic settings. The volume focuses on individuation in everyday religious practices in Phoenicia, various Greek cities, and Rome, and as identified in institutional developments and philosophical reflections on the self as exemplified by the Stoic Seneca"--Jacket. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web 546 Text in English. 650 0 Individuation (Psychology) |xReligious aspects. 651 0 Mediterranean Region |xReligion |xHistory |yTo 1500. 651 0 Mediterranean Region |xReligious life and customs |xHistory |yTo 1500. 655 0 Electronic books. 700 1 Rüpke, Jörg. 856 40 |zFull text available from Oxford Scholarship Online Classical Studies |uhttps://go.openathens.net/redirector/ecu.edu?url=https%3A%2F%2Facademic.oup.com%2Fbook%2F9442 947 (OCoLC)ocn812066419 949 CLICK ON WEB ADDRESS |wASIS |hJOYNER188 949 CLICK ON WEB ADDRESS |wASIS |hHSL77 949 CLICK ON WEB ADDRESS |wASIS |hJMUSIC60 596 1 3 4 998 5510087
