- W4383040391 abstract "This chapter looks at frequent descriptions of inhabiting mountain territory and in the saints' lives that survive from late antiquity right through the medieval period, many of which have mountain settings. It highlights the flexibility of the Greek term <italic>oros</italic>, which can refer to mountain peaks where some holy men are said to have occupied sites on or near the summits. <italic>Oros</italic> also applies to the rocky expanses of wild terrain at lower altitude, especially in late antique Egypt, where it is used almost interchangeably with the Greek word <italic>erēmos</italic>. The chapter describes the authors of the saints' lives that offer a broadly positive vision of isolated mountain lifestyles that are cut off from urban civilisation. Men and women who practised asceticism became heroes of holiness through the texts that presented them to the wider world." @default.
