Requirements for Participation

Literature and History of the Persian Period


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The Literature and History of the Persian Period group will be holding two sessions; an invited panel and an open session for which paper proposals will be accepted. Both sessions will be on the topic of Amphictyony as a social construct of Mediterranean cultures of the 6th-4th centuries BCE. Papers will address the issues of historiography, religious ritual, economics, land tenure and genealogical claims in light of social groups organized as a collective or league in the context of an imperial administrative system. The impact of these disparate strata of group identity and mobilization upon the formation of biblical and extra-biblical Jewish texts will be examined, as well as parallels from Greek and Persian sources (historiographic, epigraphic and otherwise).
