Beschreibung

Danube River Mythology explores the profound spiritual and cultural significance of the Danube River throughout European history. It delves into how ancient societies perceived and revered the river, examining its role in religious beliefs, rituals, and the formation of cultural traditions. The book reveals how the Danube functioned not merely as a geographical feature but as a sacred entity, influencing the worldview of those living along its banks.For example, archaeological findings and textual accounts uncover evidence of water deities and river worship, illustrating the Danube's sacred status. The book adopts an interdisciplinary approach, drawing from archaeology, religious studies, and history to offer a comprehensive understanding. It progresses through time, first examining pre-Roman and Roman-era beliefs, then exploring the adaptations and interactions with Christianity during the Middle Ages.Finally, it analyzes the river's depiction in modern art, literature, and its impact on present-day cultural identity and environmental awareness. Ultimately, the book emphasizes the enduring impact of the Danube on shaping cultural identities and belief systems, challenging traditional historical narratives by highlighting the profound influence of natural features on religious and cultural development.

Their 1967 break-out album Surrealistic Pillow includes two songs, "Somebody to Love" and "White Rabbit", that are among Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Songs of All Time". The October 1966 to February 1970 lineup of Jefferson Airplane, consisting of Marty Balin (vocals), Paul Kantner (guitar, vocals), Grace Slick (vocals), Jorma Kaukonen (lead guitar, vocals), Jack Casady (bass), and Spencer Dryden (drums), was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996. The Moody Blues were an English rock band formed in Birmingham in 1964. During the band's "classic era" into the early 1970s, the lineup included keyboardist Mike Pinder, multi-instrumentalist Ray Thomas, drummer Graeme Edge, guitarist Justin Hayward, and bassist John Lodge. Their second album, Days of Future Passed, which was released in 1967, was a fusion of rock with classical music which established the band as pioneers in the development of art rock and progressive rock. The band has sold 70 million albums worldwide, which includes 18 platinum and gold LPs. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2018.
