My study tackles two combined issues raised by these two onomastic attributes: (1) do they betray mainly the memory of a more peculiar and closer religious experience of deities than do other addresses? (2) to what extent do the two terms express a prominent status of the experienced deities leading towards a “ henotheistic ” interpretation, as usually conceptualized by modern research? The collection and study of epigraphic testimonies invited me to distance my conclusions from both the three features generally recognized when deities are praised thus (slave ’ s submission, oriental flavor and henotheism) and current interpretations that treat the two terms as synonymous, as if expressing the same kind of experience of the deity. In the three geographical – thus cultural – areas under scrutiny, where these ritual epithets are the more numerous (the Levant, Thracia and its surroundings, and Egypt), any divine power is implicitly kyrios in his/her own sanctuary. Despotes might be a better candidate for advocating an evolution towards a hierarchical/henotheistic conception of the pantheon and its expression in specific religious experiences.","PeriodicalId":437096,"journal":{"name":"Lived Religion in the Ancient Mediterranean World","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131385941","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}

This chapter argues that for a fuller understanding of lived religion it is necessary to approach these objects as more than the mere material or visual expression of otherwise intangible concepts. It consequently explores the affective relations between things, particularly how objects and human bodies assemble in order to produce lived religious experience and religious knowledge. Taking votive terracotta models of hands from mid-Republican Italy as a case study, this chapter adopts a broadly new materialist approach to the examination of anatomical votives, focusing on the tripartite affectivity of these offerings as objects manipulated in the moment of ritual, as material things, and as bodily proxies.","PeriodicalId":437096,"journal":{"name":"Lived Religion in the Ancient Mediterranean World","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128800061","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}
