| Περίληψη: | Ancient Greek divination included multiple practices and techniques that people employed trying to find the meaning of current unconceivable experiences and to predict the unknown future. Gods were considered to have access to knowledge that humans didn’t. Both official states and individuals used to ask for divine consultation before they proceed to a certain decision, choice and action. Oracular temples attracted many visitors who wished to pose questions to the worshipped deities. Professional manteis, priests, seers and prophets, itinerated from city to city providing a local alternative to those who looked for answers to everyday matters. Other techniques also developed that individuals could employ themselves attempting to overcome their uncertainty about their current and future experiences. Modern researchers have traced the origins of divination, which takes multiple forms in different cultural contexts, in the universal human uncertainty about the threatening present and the unknown future. In parallel, both ancient Greek intellectuals and modern scholars have attempted to classify the varied divinatory practices to wider categories that embrace all those means and techniques employed by humans in order to overcome this uncertainty. This paper provides some insights into the cognitive underpinnings of the cross-cultural human need to know the unknown, to conceive the unconceivable and to predict the unpredictable future that underlied ancient Greek divination. Further, beginning from Cicero’s distinction between natural and artificial divinatory practices, it traces the different cognitive mechanisms that would have underlied the different modes of divination developed in Greek antiquity. It suggests that universal patterns of human cognition interact with specific cultural and social contexts giving rise to varied cultural practices. It further raises questions about how the theory of social network can contribute to better understand the divinatory patterns of practice of Greek antiquity. |
