Ancient Art and Ritual is a book written by Jane Ellen Harrison, an English classical scholar and linguist. The book explores the relationship between ancient art and ritual, specifically in ancient Greece. Harrison argues that art and ritual are interdependent, as art is used to express and reinforce ritual practices. The book is divided into six chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of ancient art and ritual. The first chapter discusses the origins of art and ritual in ancient Greece, while the second chapter explores the role of art in religious rituals. The third chapter examines the connection between art and myth, and how art was used to depict mythological stories. The fourth chapter delves into the symbolism of ancient art, particularly in relation to fertility and death. The fifth chapter explores the use of dance and music in ancient Greek rituals, and how they were used to create a sense of community and connection. Finally, the sixth chapter discusses the decline of ancient Greek art and ritual, and the impact of Christianity on these practices.Overall, Ancient Art and Ritual is a comprehensive exploration of the relationship between art and ritual in ancient Greece.
