Podcast: "Pantheon" - Geschichte der antiken Religionen

Among other things, Jörg Rüpke tells of the construction of the first monumental tombs in Etruria, of temple building projects, of priests, believers and rituals, of the imperial cult and of intellectuals' attempts to transform religion into knowledge. Wherever possible, he looks over the shoulders of women and men who had religious experiences in dark sanctuaries or in front of domestic altars, who wanted to be remembered beyond their own death through prayer and inscriptions or, for example, did not understand why a new god expected them to change their behaviour in everyday life. In this way, he opens up to his readers an unusual panorama of an area of life in antiquity that is as important as it is strange.
