“…Un caso representativo de dicha asimilación es la sumeria Inanna -una de las tres diosas lunares de la Edad de Bronce-quien, siendo venerada desde el 3500 a. C. como reina virgen del cielo y la tierra, y reconocida en himnos cuneiformes como la "Luz del mundo, sacerdotisa del cielo, (…) la que abre el vientre", 7 fue representada coronada con estrellas y con el zodíaco como cinturón. 8 Igualmente, la diosa egipcia Isis, heredera de los atributos de Hator -diosa egipcia de los tiempos predinásticos y reconocida en las inscripciones de los epítetos de sus templos como "Diosa solar, artífice del destino" 9 , fue venerada como reina del sol y la luna durante más de tres mil años, representándose con un disco solar como corona. Además de estos dos casos paradigmáticos, Irene Muñoz Viladecans La Mujer Vestida de Sol: una revisión del Apocalipsis son conocidas también otras diosas primitivas que fueron consideradas reinas celestiales, como la egipcia Nut, madre de Isis; la hitita Arinna; la ugarítica Shapsh; la siria Atargatis; la griega Artemis; la báltica Saule o la germánica Frau Holle la cual, considerada la madre de toda la vida, fue la encargada de hacer brillar el sol.…”

El presente artículo explora una reinterpretación delApocalipsis alejándose de la concepción patriarcal delfin del mundo como un evento catastrófico y vengativo.Centrándose en la imagen de la Mujer Vestida de Sol, ensu relación con los mitos de otras diosas prepatriarcalesy en la aparición, consolidación e interpretación de suiconografía y atributos, el texto propone un recorrido porla genealogía femenina de dicha imagen hasta llegar a laimagen de María como Inmaculada Concepción. Con dichorecorrido veremos como la imagen de la Mujer vestida deSol evoca el regreso del imaginario de las diosas celestialesque, marcando un renacer cósmico que nos conecta denuevo con la esencia de la vida, la belleza y el amor, nosseñala el fin del patriarcado que trae consigo el inicio de laera del sentir de las entrañas y del simbólico femenino.

“…Although its port of Cius (modern Gemlik) was approximately 48.3 kilometres west, land transport was required for only 16 kilometres from the western end of Ascania to the Propontis and this over fairly level terrain (Wilson 1960:91). Magie (1950:1.305) describes 10.The further statement of Grant (1997:592), that Sinope 'dominated land routes communicating with the interior of Asia Minor', needs correction. As Leafe (1916:7) explains: 'It was not the terminus of any road, but it was the centre of the coasting trade; and in that sense only it was the terminus of every road that debouched into the Black Sea'.…”

Cities of God in northern Asia minor: Using Stark's social theories to reconstruct Peter's communities

This article used seven hypotheses from R. Stark’s Cities of God (2007) as a heuristic tool toinvestigate the rise of Christianity in the five Roman provinces mentioned in 1 Peter 1:1. It affirmed that the Christian communities in these provinces were located in an urban, not rural, setting. Building on the research of Hort and Hemer, seven major cities in these provinces were proposed to test Stark’s hypotheses with. These cities are Sinope and Amisus in Pontus, Ancyra in Galatia, Caesarea Mazaca in Cappadocia, Dorylaeum in Asia and Nicea and Nicomedia in Bithynia. An important factor noted in several of these cities was their prominence as a commercial seaport and the presence of a Diaspora Jewish community. Utilising this methodological approach helped to elucidate more fully the audience of 1 Peter’s geographic and historical background

“…Excavations in Andriake next to Myra and those in Puteoli and Ostia near Rome prove that this goddess and Serapis were popular and frequently venerated; cf. Magie 1953:163-166, Johnson 1958:12, Tomorad 2005:245-248, Brody 2008 An inscription on the architrave of this temple excavated at Ostia Antica names the Roman emperors Valens, Gratian and Valentinian, as well as the supervisor Faustus, as the restorers of this temple of Isis. Cf.…”

Saint Nicholas’ Beleaguered Black Companion(s): A Study of the Contested Nature and Late Antique History of Santa’s Helpers in the Dutch Saint Nicholas Feast

The Netherlands has a long history of celebrating Saint Nicholas Day. On the eve of the 5 th of December, the Dutch commemorate the date of death of the popular bishop from Myra, who protected citizens and sailors and gave his money to the poor. Bishop Nicholas, who came from a well-to-do Christian merchant family of Greek descent, lived in Asia Minor during the fourth century CE. Today, during the European winter months, a version of Saint Nicholas (Sinterklaas) features prominently in Dutch public spaces, especially in shopping malls and bakeries. Most often the saint is accompanied by one or more companions. This article explores the possible late antique origins of these companion(s), who have recently become embroiled in heated Saint Nicholas debates in the Netherlands on Dutch racism and the slave trade. I will posit that the Saint's current companion(s) have semi-historical origins which may be traced back to North African grain merchants, traders and sailors who in late antiquity regularly sailed from Alexandria to Myra. The proposal challenges contending theories that the Saint Nicholas legends did not have companions of African descent before the nineteenth century. The investigation is significant for questions relating to the current transformations in the appearance of Saint Nicholas' companion(s) and whether they should remain or rather be eliminated from the Dutch Saint Nicholas tradition.
