Epiphanies of the Saints in Late-antique Greek Literature

The project focuses on how the apparitions of Christian saints were represented in Greek literature from the 3rd to the 7th centuries AD. Its aim is to analyze cultural underpinnings of these descriptions. The most abundant and interesting material for this study is to be found in the literary genre known as the miracula, i.e. miracle collections. Along with other literary texts, these sources are used in an attempt to reconstruct the religious mentality of the period commonly referred to as Late Antiquity.

Among the most important cultural phenomena the European culture owes to the Greeks of the archaic period (from Homer to Pericles, roughly speaking), one should mention the ideals of athletic competition, a mythology focused on the successes and downfalls of semi-divine heroes, a lyric poetry articulating the emotional depths of an individual. Their common denominator is a combination of unbridled individualism with the spirit of competition, an ambition to stand out from one’s community in a rivalry between its paramount members.
