Geburt und Hochzeit des Kriegers: Geschlechterdifferenz und Initiation in Mythos und Ritual der griechischen Polis - 46 (Reprint 2012.)

The author examines a group of myths and festivals in ancient Greek religion in which the motifs of the exchange of gender roles and sexual transformation play a central role. The application of present-day theories from the realm of religious studies, and of the results of gender studies, leads to a new and differentiated picture of the entire complex in the historical context of Greek polis religion in the archaic and classical period.
