Primitive Ritual: Pantomimic Dances is a book written by Jane Ellen Harrison that explores the origins and meanings of ancient dance rituals. The book delves into the history of pantomimic dances in various cultures, including ancient Greece, Egypt, and India. Harrison examines the symbolism and significance of these dances, which were often performed as part of religious ceremonies or rites of passage. She also discusses the role of dance in early human societies, and how it was used to express emotions, communicate with the divine, and promote social cohesion. The book is a fascinating exploration of the power of dance and its importance in human culture, and is a must-read for anyone interested in anthropology, mythology, or the history of dance.THIS 26 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Ancient Art and Ritual, by Jane Ellen Harrison.
