在《全球帝国中的Isis》一书中，林赛·马祖雷克（Lindsey Mazurek）探讨了埃及神的日益普及及其对罗马帝国中希腊身份的影响。她将考古学、艺术史和文本证据结合在一起，展示了伊西斯和萨拉皮斯等神的不同信徒对希腊种族的看法，与希腊男性精英的看法有很大不同，他们的观点长期影响着我们对罗马希腊的理解。这些想法以不同的方式表达出来——希腊风格的埃及神像雕塑、以希腊地理和神话为基础的对伊希斯的赞美诗、描绘打扮成伊希斯的奉献者的葬礼肖像，以及利用自然和艺术特征唤起对尼罗河的刻板印象的圣所。马祖雷克的书提供了一部关于古代全球化的新鲜的物质历史，其中强调了宗教在罗马人自我认同中的作用，以及他们在地中海世界中的地位。
Isis in a Global Empire: Greek Identity through Egyptian Religion in Roman Greece
In Isis in a Global Empire, Lindsey Mazurek explores the growing popularity of Egyptian gods and its impact on Greek identity in the Roman Empire. Bringing together archaeological, art historical, and textual evidence, she demonstrates how the diverse devotees of gods such as Isis and Sarapis considered Greek ethnicity in ways that differed significantly from those of the Greek male elites whose opinions have long shaped our understanding of Roman Greece. These ideas were expressed in various ways – sculptures of Egyptian deities rendered in a Greek style, hymns to Isis that grounded her in Greek geography and mythology, funerary portraits that depicted devotees dressed as Isis, and sanctuaries that used natural and artistic features to evoke stereotypes of the Nile. Mazurek’s volume offers a fresh, material history of ancient globalization, one that highlights the role that religion played in the self-identification of provincial Romans and their place in the Mediterranean world.
