| Итог: | Mythical or fantastic creatures inhabit a paradoxical place in the southern Levantine history of religions and Biblical Studies. Despite their ubiquity inevitably makes them objects of study, they are usually domesticated through sociological or theological sublimation. In other words, despite being commonplace these areas, they remain relegated to the realms of otherness, either as insignia of powers from beyond (e.g. as theological or psychosocial manifestations) or as manifestations of these powers (e.g. as apotropaic instruments). Based on the study of epigraphic seals with iconography from the Iron Age IIB-C (c. 775-520 BCE), this article challenges these approaches and characterizes mythical creatures as liminal beings imbricated between otherness and identity. These small mixed media or "imagetexts" present personal names in direct relation to theriomorphic and therianthropic beings, thus being privileged data for revealing ideas of personhood in their relationship with fantastic beings in ancient Palestine/Israel. To this end, the study employs an anthropophagic approach with insights from monster theory, intersemiotic studies and material religion. |
