Описание: Ancient sources and modern scholars have often represented the Athenian festival of Adonis as a marginal and faintly ridiculous private women’s ritual. Seeds were planted each year in pots and, once sprouted, carried to the rooftops, where women lamented the death of Aphrodite’s youthful consort Adonis. Laurialan Reitzammer resourcefully examines a wide array of surviving evidence about the Adonia, arguing for its symbolic importance in fifth- and fourth-century Athenian culture as an occasion for gendered commentary on mainstream Athenian practices.Reitzammer uncovers correlations of the Adonia to Athenian wedding rituals and civic funeral oration and provides illuminating evidence that the festival was a significant cultural template for such diverse works as Aristophanes’ drama Lysistrata and Plato’s dialogue Phaedrus. Her fresh approach is a timely contribution to studies of the ways gender and sexuality intersect with religion and ritual in ancient Greece.

"Beware the time the golden mist seeks you; For one of you shall taste of death and you shall not return." This was the warning of the Great Hobber to the Children of Earth many years ago.
The warning came with David and Tanya's first visit to the Lands of the Adoni. Now young adults, the mist seeks them out on this visit. But when they arrive in Dula, they find Queen Dianna missing.
The Children of Earth are called into the Lands of the Adoni just as the Last Trumpet sounds upon the earth and the Rapture takes place. David and Tanya must assume the throne and prepare the kingdom for all-out war with their long-time enemy, Magar, and the Dark Lord himself, to prepare the way for The Return of the Adoni.
As they assume their final roles as the Steward/Stewardess of the throne of Dula, they discover as many enemies within the walls of the palace as without. Assuming the throne was easy, but holding the throne may cost them their lives. Can they hold it until the Adoni return?
This is the sixth and final book of the Dulan Archives series.
Author Bio: Dennis Knotts lives with his wife and their daughter, Shalom, in Riverside, California. This is his eleventh book.
