Описание: Getorix has one last opportunity to gain his father's regard and earn welcome into the Celtic Otherworld as a hero. At almost fifteen winters, he marches beside his father, a defeated leader, in the Roman triumph - a celebration that ends in death. Courage to face the ordeal of sacrifice before the Romans will truly be his man-making. Instead, the gods throw him entirely different challenges. Can Getorix accept friendship with the Roman who spares his life if the cost is his honor? Can he face the realities of the world he lives in, even if the truth is not as he has been taught?Modern readers will relate to the difficulties these two youths from opposing cultures face in reconciling their differing experiences and value systems.

Описание:
Whereas modern societies tend to banish the dead from the world of the living, medieval men and women accorded them a vital role in the community. The saints counted most prominently as potential intercessors before God, but the ordinary dead as well were called upon to aid the living, and even to participate in the negotiation of political disputes. In this book, the distinguished medievalist Patrick J. Geary shows how exploring the complex relations between the living and dead can broaden our understanding of the political, economic, and cultural history of medieval Europe. Geary has brought together for this volume twelve of his most influential essays. They address such topics as the development of saints' cults and of the concept of sacred space; the integration of saints' cults into the lives of ordinary people; patterns of relic circulation; and the role of the dead in negotiating the claims and counterclaims of various interest groups. Also included are two case studies of communities that enlisted new patron saints to solve their problems. Throughout, Geary demonstrates that, by reading actions, artifacts, and rituals on an equal footing with texts, we can better grasp the otherness of past societies.
