"""Ancient Art and Ritual"" is a book written by Jane Ellen Harrison, a distinguished classical scholar and linguist. The book was first published in 1913 and is considered one of Harrison's significant contributions to the field of classical studies. Jane Ellen Harrison (1850-1928) was known for her work in the areas of classical archaeology, mythology, and anthropology.

In ""Ancient Art and Ritual,"" Harrison explores the relationship between ancient art and religious or ritualistic practices in various cultures. She draws connections between the symbolism found in ancient art and the rituals performed by different societies. The book delves into the idea that art and ritual are interconnected expressions of the human experience, with each influencing and reflecting the other.

Harrison's approach is interdisciplinary, combining elements of archaeology, anthropology, and classical studies. She examines a wide range of ancient cultures, including those of Greece, Rome, Egypt, and the Near East, to uncover common themes and symbols in art and religious practices.

One of the key themes in the book is the concept of ""ritual survival,"" where Harrison explores how ancient rituals and symbolism persist in art even as societies undergo cultural and religious changes. She proposes that studying art can provide valuable insights into the spiritual and cultural beliefs of ancient civilizations.

Overall, ""Ancient Art and Ritual"" is known for its innovative and thought-provoking analysis of the connections between art and religious practices in the ancient world. It has had a lasting impact on the study of classical art and mythology and remains a significant work in the field of classical scholarship."
