요약This dissertation reevaluates the social and ritual dynamics of the late antique Christian cult of martyrs through the lens of homilies-liturgical orations-preached by clergy on the feast days of martyrs from the fourth to early seventh centuries across the Mediterranean in Greek, Syriac, Latin, and Coptic. It explores these homilies as ritualized speech in which preachers, listeners, and, from the ancient perspective, the martyrs themselves participated-a rich source of evidence for reconstructing social and ritual dynamics across the lay-clerical spectrum. In particular, these homilies on martyrs help overcome two paramount issues in the study of the late antique cult of martyrs: an overwhelming fixation on the cult of martyrs as a site of binary intra-Christian social tension and a predominant western-centrism. By taking a comparative approach to these homilies deriving from four different languages across the Mediterranean and thinking with more recent theories of social practice and power dynamics, this study provides new insights that significantly reorient our perspective on the late antique cult of martyrs. I argue that clerical preachers frequently discoursed about cooperative piety between themselves and laity in venerating the martyrs in order to construct a sense of community across social ranks within increasingly hierarchical church structures. Such strategies of communal identity are also observed in the physical church spaces in which late antique homilies on martyrs were delivered. This approach also reveals greater regional diversity in martyr veneration than has been recognized. Late antique Christians deployed different types of ritualized speech on martyrs and venerated their relics through different ritual gestures across the Mediterranean depending on socio-cultural context and preachers' intellectual commitments. With this work, I aim to reorient our perspective on the late antique cult of martyrs by creating a more sophisticated approach to the social power dynamics at play on martyrial feast days, and by producing a more geographically inclusive view of early Christian martyr veneration and its significant ritual diversity.
