This article offers an analysis of a neglected aspect of divination in Archaic Greek literature. It aims to demonstrate that often divination stems from a self-contained ability to obtain hidden knowledge irrespective of the gods. In the human realm, seers prophesy not by divine inspiration or through reading divine signs, but by their own autonomous prophetic faculty. In the divine realm, the gods use various means of divination to obtain knowledge of what lies above and beyond them. Lastly, nature is conceived as possessing independent mantic resources of its own. The conclusion explains how these three phenomena developed from one essential religious conception.
期刊介绍:
Classical Philology has been an internationally respected journal for the study of the life, languages, and thought of the Ancient Greek and Roman world since 1906. CP covers a broad range of topics from a variety of interpretative points of view. CP welcomes both longer articles and short notes or discussions that make a significant contribution to the study of Greek and Roman antiquity. Any field of classical studies may be treated, separately or in relation to other disciplines, ancient or modern. In particular, we invite studies that illuminate aspects of the languages, literatures, history, art, philosophy, social life, and religion of ancient Greece and Rome. Innovative approaches and originality are encouraged as a necessary part of good scholarship.
