Religious and cultural dimensions of Greek sanctuaries are assessed in light of the results of recent exacavations and new readings of literary sources. The material dimension of cult practices in ancient sanctuaries is the central issue of all contributions, with a focus on the findings from ancient Akragas. Great attention is also paid to past ritual activities, which are framed in three complementary areas of enquiry. Firstly, the architectural setting of sanctuaries is examined beyond temple buildings to assess the wider context of their structural and spatial complexity. Secondly, the material culture of votive deposition and religious feasting is analysed in terms of performative characteristics and through the lens of anthropological approaches. Thirdly, the significance of gender in cultic practice is investigated in light of the fresh data retrieved from the field. The new findings presented in this volume contribute to close the existing research gaps in the study of sanctuaries in Sicily, as well as the wider practice of Greek religion. 651 0 $a Sicily (Italy) $x Antiquities, Roman. 650 0 $a Greeks $z Sicily $z Sicily $x Antiquities. 650 0 $a Architecture, Ancient $z Greece. 650 7 $a Architecture, Ancient. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00813609 650 7 $a Classical antiquities. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00863445 650 7 $a Greeks $x Antiquities. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00947547 651 7 $a Greece. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01208380 651 7 $a Italy $z Sicily. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204499 700 1 $a De Cesare, Monica, $e editor. 700 1 $a Portale, Elisa Chiara, $e editor. 700 1 $a Sojc, Natascha, $e editor. 776 08 $i Electronic version: $t Akragas dialogue. $d Berlin : De Gruyter, [2020] $z 9783110497687 $w (OCoLC)1150262097 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20210721013707.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EBA46C3EC7F211EAB1F2873797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
