Mylonas, George Emmanuel

Eleusis and the Eleusinian Mysteries.

Princeton, 1969, 1st paperbackprinting, now cardboarded, XX + 346 pp, text, 46 pp. illustrations. The most famous conspiracy of silence in the history of antiquity is examined here by one of the three archaeologists entrusted by the Archaeological Society of Athens with the final excavations of the Sanctuary. He traces the history of the cult in the archaeological remains, from the first traces of habitation at the site in the Middle Bronze Age (around 1900 B.C.) to its final grandeur and decay in Imperial Roman times. A guided tour of the Museum at Eleusis, illustrated with photographs of objects in the Museum, as well as air views, plans, and detailed photographs of the ruins closely correlated with the text, takes into account the needs of the visitor at the site as well as the reader at home. Originally published in 1961.

Women and Demons - Cult Healing in Islamic Egypt.

Leiden, Brill, 2003. Paperback. 302 pp. Gaaf, (as) new.. This rich ethnographic study describes the nearly impossible challenge of the daily existence of women in the poor neighbourhoods of Cairo. When these women fall ill they often put the blame on beings from an invisible world that invaded their body (possession), and they seek the help of traditional healers in the Zar ceremony or Koran healing. This book examines in detail the links between cosmology, power and gender. It tackles questions such as 'what is possession, what is being said with it, and what does society have to do with it?'. The author, who lived a long time in various poor areas of Cairo, attended many sessions of Koran healing and participated in the Zar ceremony. She observed and interviewed many possessed women, as well as healers and other 'demon specialists'.. ISBN: 978912
