At the same time, such research usually encounters misunderstanding or prejudice regarding the “labels” of ancient deities. Moreover, the late antique written tradition, under the influence of the crisis of the religious worldview, sometimes contains very confusing interpretations of the functions of deities. The use of the entire possible range of sources allows us to trace not only the peculiarities of the cult but also the non-religious functions of a particular divine figure. Asclepius is extremely interesting in this regard. Even Pseudo-Cornutus suggested that Asclepius was originally a hero, and only later was he endowed with divine functions, relatives, and attributes. Plato drew attention to the fact that medicine and the attention of Asclepius should be focused only on those people who benefit the state. There was also a controversial attitude to the meaning of the term “Asklepiades”, which mostly included physicians as heirs of Asclepius, not his direct mythical children. The situation was also complicated with regard to the figure of Hygeia, who, in our understanding, along with Panacea, is the daughter of Asclepius, but the Orphic Hymns call her the wife of the god of healing. The situation is even more complicated with Telesphorus, a minor deity associated with the medical profession. At the same time, Asclepius of Pergamum was called Telesphorus, as reported by Pausanias. However, coins, finds of terracotta or stone figurines confirm the existence of a deity in the form of a hooded boy associated with Asclepius and Hygieia.\u0000On the other hand, the traditional centres of worship of Asclepius in the province were the island of Kos and Pergamum, where Asclepius were present, but this fact is hardly represented in coinage. Instead, the figure of Asclepius was actively used by the magistrates of the relatively small Lydian cities of Akrasus, Hyrcanis, Hypaipa, Saitta, and others. During the Severus dynasty, Asclepius became extremely popular in the minting of coins with the emperor’s bust and various medallions on the occasion of city alliances or confirmation of the right of neocorat. From this point of view, this topic was not the subject of special research. This is its scientific novelty.\u0000Keywords: Asclepius, Hygieia, Telesphorus, Pergamum, Severus, Antoninus, coins, Roman province of Asia","PeriodicalId":302536,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Yearbook \"History of Religions in Ukraine\"","volume":"98 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117322377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For centuries, religious meanings were dominant in human consciousness and only at the everyday level, and at the philosophical level (definition of the general meanings of existence and society). However, the modernization processes of the 19th and 20th centuries made their corrections, leading to a significant shift from religious to secular meanings.\u0000The issue of the current role of religion as a source of transcendent meanings, as a source and keeper of “higher” values and meanings for the population of Ukraine is examined. It is stated that religion has always been a source of meaning in life for its followers. The implementation of such a meaning-making and sense-transmitting function by religion is an important condition for the social significance and influence of religion. In modern societies, the scope of the social role of religion is not obvious and is a subject of debate. For a more precise understanding of the problem of the functionality of religion for modern societies, the inclusion of religion in social processes and the consciousness of the broad masses of the population is analyzed. Based on the analysis, it is concluded that the ability of Orthodoxy to become a real alternative to the secular value complexes dominant in modern societies is significantly limited, since the values transmitted by Orthodoxy do not find a mass response. It is demonstrated that for the majority of believing Ukrainians, religion has largely ceased to be the basis of the semantic structure. This, in turn, along with low church affiliation, weak familiarity with Orthodox dogmatics, readiness to independently form the meanings of one’s religion and to include in these meanings elements from other religions and secular ideologies, extremely limits the orientation to the meanings and values, transmitted by the church. In further research, in connection with such a situation, it is necessary to analyze the status of religion in the meaning fields of modern man more carefully and on concrete empirical material, so as not to put too much hope on religion in terms of its ability to influence the masses and block the path of materialistic spirituality.\u0000Keywords: social functions of religion, the significance of religion in society, Orthodoxy, the meaning of life, the spiritual crisis of society, the perception of meanings, values, the role of religion","PeriodicalId":302536,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Yearbook \"History of Religions in Ukraine\"","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122260338","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The author believes that nowadays the evidence about this religious figure is insignificant, there are only short encyclopedic-type reports, articles of a popular nature, or individual local history publications.\u0000The possibilities of using criminal cases as a source of studying the daily life of the Greek Catholic clergy are clarified. As an example, the author uses the potential of a criminal case, which in 1945 Soviet special services introduced against Bishop Ivan Lyatyshevskyi. Attributive components of all criminal cases are considered – the arrested person’s questionnaire, the biography of the clergyman, the circumstances of his arrest, details of the search of his residence, the nuances of the interrogations, extracts from the verdict report, etc.\u0000It is proven that the materials of the criminal case contain a lot of informative facts not only about the pastoral but also about the public and social activities of the Greek Catholic clergy in the interwar period, during the Second World War, significantly supplementing the informative and informative material of this historical period. The socio-political views, ideological convictions, interests, inclinations of Bishop Ivan Lyatyshevskyi are highlighted.\u0000The intimate communicative environment of I.
