How did the classical Greek city come into being? What role did religion play in its formation? Athens, with its ancient citadel and central religious cult, has traditionally been the model for the emergence of the Greek city-state. But in this original and controversial investigation, Francois de Polignac suggests that the Athenian model was probably the exception, not the rule, in the development of the polis in ancient Greece. Combining archaeological and textual evidence, de Polignac argues that the eighth-century settlements that would become the city-states of classical Greece were defined as much by the boundaries of "civilized" space as by its urban centers. The city took shape through what de Polignac calls a "religious bipolarity," the cults operating both to organize social space and to articulate social relationships being not only at the heart of the inhabited area, but on the edges of the territory. Together with the urban cults, these sanctuaries "in the wild" identified the polis and its sphere of influence, giving rise to the concept of the state as a territorial unit distinct from its neighbors. Frontier sanctuaries were therefore often the focus of disputes between emerging communities. But in other instances, in particular in Greece's colonizing expeditions, these outer sanctuaries may have facilitated the relations between the indigenous populations and the settlers of the newly founded cities. Featuring extensive revisions from the original French publication and an updated bibliography, this book is essential for anyone interested in the history and culture of ancient Greece.
有关polis在archaic早期的定义很有吸引力,polis边境上sanctuaries的作用也很有力量,但从religious practices到community的politically decision making的关联讲得不够convincing。不readable
评分该书从考古学、神话学、史学入手,讲述了希腊宗教在公元前8世纪到古典时代之间与地缘政治、人种冲突与融合、文明构建与消解、地理特征、空间结构的关系。比如,该书解释了为何大部分希腊城邦都有核心的城市主神庙和标志着城邦地界的城外庙,并且,在宗教的整合中,二者同时都很重要。城市庙,体现着政治整合,城外庙完成了社会各种成分的参与。唯独在雅典的发展中,因其历史相对的连续性,城外庙的整合作用不大,卫城神庙体现出来重要的向心性。好书一本,处处洞见。难得。
