    "Roman traditions did not claim purity of lineage. Distinctiveness of blood or heritage never took hold as part of the Roman self-conception. Indeed, the Romans had no term for non-Roman. They had to borrow the Greek notion of 'barbarian,' a particular irony since it signified in origin non-Greek speakers — a category into which the Romans themselves fell. Mixed ancestry, in fact, was part of the Roman image from its inception. Instead of an embarrassment, it served as a source of pride."

  • Maijastina Kahlos, Debate and Dialogue: Christian and Pagan Cultures c. 360-430 (Ashgate, 2007), p. 18 online:

    "Paganism was never a religion and there were no pagans before Christianity. Christians invented paganism, not only as a term, but also as a system." And: "These people indeed exist as the category of 'pagans' in Christian discourse" (boldface mine). Therefore the use of the word reflects a consciously chosen POV. Khalos's book uses the word "pagan" in its title, and finds the term necessary for the very reason that the book is framed by a Christian/non-Christian dialectic. The point is that the words "pagan" or "paganism" are anachronistic when applied to traditional forms of religion in antiquity before the rise of Christian hegemony, and do not reflect accurately how the practitioners of those religions viewed their own multifaceted religious lives. Preceded by discussion of why "polytheism" is similarly unhelpful.

  • note to self: Is there some rule that says WP articles have to be lifeless, boring to read, and written robotically? Compare the WP article on the Decameron to this little overview in The Guardian. Compared to most WP articles on literature, the Decameron effort doesn't suck. But read The Guardian piece first, and then try to keep yourself from nodding off while reading the WP article. Which one gives you a feel for the work?
