Summary: | "The second North American Congress of Greek and Latin Epigraphy was held January 4-6, 2016 on the campus of the University of California, Berkeley [...]. It was due to both the overall number of papers and the special concentration of papers on Greek epigraphy and religion that we, the organizers, chose to publish the proceedings in two volumes. The first, more general volume, From Document to History: Epigraphic Insights into the Greco-Roman World, edited by Carlos Noreña and Nikolaos Papazarkadas, is now joined by this publication [...]." (Preface) In Greek Epigraphy and Religion Emily Mackil and Nikolaos Papazarkadas bring together a series of papers first presented at a special session of the Second North American Congress of Greek and Latin Epigraphy (Berkeley 2016). That session was dedicated to the memory of Sara B. Aleshire, one of the leading Greek epigraphists of the twentieth century. The volume at hand includes a combination of previously unpublished inscriptions, overlooked epigraphical documents, and well known inscribed texts that are reexamined with fresh eyes and approaches. The relevant documents cover a wide geographical range, including Athens and Attica, the Peloponnese, Epirus, Thessaly, the Aegean islands, and Egypt. This collection ultimately explores the insights provided by epigraphical texts into the religious beliefs and practices of the ancient Greeks, but also revisits critically some entrenched doctrines in the field of Greek religion |
