Mountains in ancient literature and culture and their post-classical reception

Mountain landscapes have long had great cultural significance, arguably most of all in ancient civilisations. Mount Olympus was recognised as home of the Greek gods, and worshippers would climb to the tops of mountains to offer sacrifices. Despite this, K?nig ¨C whose research focuses on Greek and Roman literature and culture ¨C argues that the representation of mountains in ancient culture is neglected in spite of growing fascination with mountains in modern European literature. Through this Leverhulme-sponsored project, he aims to look afresh at the cultural relationship that ancient civilisations had with mountain landscapes, and compare these to post-classical representations of mountains today. This research project will result in a book that explores the role of mountains in ancient literature and culture.
