SUMMARY:Immortalizing Death at the Sanctuary of Orthia
DTSTART:20180226T230000Z
DTEND:20180227T003000Z
DESCRIPTION:The corpus of carved ivories from the sanctuary of Orthia 
 at Sparta has often been invoked as evidence of religious and artistic
  interrelations between Sparta\, Crete\, and the Levant in the Iron Ag
 e. In this talk\, I explore these long distance interrelations through
  the lens of shared ideologies of death operating amongst communities 
 of elites across western Asia and the Aegean in the eighth to sixth ce
 nturies BCE. In particular\, I examine a seemingly anomalous scene on 
 two ivory plaques showing three figures mourning a deceased male and i
 ts mythical and ritual place within the larger votive repertoire from 
 the sanctuary of Orthia.
