Abstract:

AbstractGregory D. Alles has suggested that economic theory can be a valuable supplement to cognitive theories of religion. The cult of Athena at Athens supplies evidence to support this suggestion. Athena may have origins in the cognitive structures of the human mind as an extraordinary agent. However, she developed economic functions in fifth-century B. C. E. Athens. The sanctuary of Athena served as a bank that funded Athenian civic endeavours. Athena's sanctuary was able to do this because she was a disembodied agent with functions similar to those of a modern United States corporation, wh

Abstract:

Monumentalisation is an elaborate way of building memory in and through the landscape. Taking the sanctuary of Athena Alea in Tegea as an example, this paper focuses on two constants in the relationship between monumentalisation and memory in ancient Greece. Firstly, the interaction between the two reinforced the myth of the alleged perpetuity and statism of monuments, thus contributing to make identities more resilient and inflexible and to their understanding as essentialist realities. Secondly, this interaction was used as a way of legitimising the dominant ideology, helping to naturalise i

Abstract:

The Temple of Athena is one of the main sacred areas of the Greek–Roman settlement of Poseidonia-Paestum (southern Italy). Several archaeological excavations were carried out here between the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Unfortunately, the locations of these excavations are only approximately known, as are the geomorphology and stratigraphy of the temple area. A multidisciplinary study, including stratigraphic, geomorphological, archaeological, and sedimentological investigations, remote sensing, and electromagnetic and geoelectrical tests, was therefore carried out, shedding n

The use of inscriptions has made crucial contributions to the identification of several Euboean sanctuaries, such as that of Apollo Selinaios, in the territory of Histiaia, that of Artemis Amarysia, near Amarynthos, and Apollo Delios at Zarex.

Such shields are found in the cemeteries of the northern Aegean, including those at Sindos and Archontiko. However, the Oisyme shield is as yet the only one to come from a sanctuary – a fact due, at least in part, to the limited exploration of early sanctuaries on the coast of Aegean Thrace. It is also the earliest known example of its type in the north-eastern Aegean. Considered alongside earlier literary evidence, such as Archilochus 5W, it helps to trace the introduction and de

The first embedded in a wall of a Roman house and the other during excavations near the sanctuary of Athena and therefore it does not have the proper context of the relief’s original settings.

This article discusses the Arcadian nymph Anthrakia, whom Pausanias saw sculpted upon a table in the sanctuary of the Great Goddesses in Megalopolis and on the altar of Athena Alea in Tegea. Anthrakia is known only from these two monuments, where she appeared among other nymphs who attended the infant Zeus after his birth in Arcadia. On the Megalopolitan table, she held a torch, and her name (< ἄνθραξ: “charcoal”) and iconography have prompted several interpretations. For example, her torch has been understood as a reference to the dark cave where Zeus was born, or as indicative of an ancie

Archaeological, iconographical and literary sources attest to their use as votive offerings in ritual and funerary contexts, as signalling instruments for town-guards, as amulets for children and women as well as, in South Italy, in a Dionysiac context.

On the road to Delphi, as one approaches the sanctuary of Apollo from the East (800 m from the main sanctuary), there is a much smaller sanctuary dedicated to Athena Pronaia ("Athena before the Temple") on a terrace now called "Marmaria" (150 m x 40 m). It consists of a walled temenos (sacred precinct) and various structures (altars, at least two temples, a tholos, and two treasuries). This smaller sanctuary to Athena served as a gateway to the much larger sanctuary to Apollo, and the goddess Athena can be perceived as protecting her younger half-brother, Apollo.

Abstract In Attica, Pallas was a giant apparently related to the sanctuary of Athena at Pallene. Pallene recalled the eponymous Chalcidian region and thus echoed the myth of the Gigantomachy. In some versions, Athena performed the Pyrrhic dance after defeating the giants. In other versions, however, Pallas was also a Titan, the father of Athena and another young woman. This maiden was the alter ego of the goddess and died at the hands of Athena in an hoplomachia. In this paper, I explore the possibility that some representations of a female Pyrrhic dance relating to Athena on red-figure vases

Abstract:

This category comprises the major cults that appeared around the five villages in the Archaic Period (ca. 800-480 BCE) that would later coalesce into the Spartan city-state. The major cults are: the Sanctuary of Orthia on the west bank of the Eurotas River, the Sanctuary of Athena Chalkioikos ("Of the Bronze House") on the acropolis, the Sanctuary of Helen and Menelaus (the Menelaion) to the east of the Eurotas River, the Sanctuary of Apollo Hyakinthos in the southern village of Amyklai, and various "hero shrines", including one to Agamemnon and Alexandra/Cassandra.

Abstract:

In 2015 the Archaeological Park of Pompei and Naples University Federico II started new investigations in the Athena sanctuary (Triangular Forum). This paper discusses a votive deposit which came to light during the 2019 campaign in the north-eastern sector of the sanctuary. The essay seeks to contextualize the formation of the assemblage comprehensively within the wider transformation processes taking place in the sanctuary in the late 2<sup>nd</sup> century BC. The coroplastic material is studied from a typological and iconographic perspective, giving new insight into the cult practices that

Abstract:

Abstract In Book 4 of Ovid’s Metamorphoses, the famous backstory of the Gorgon Medusa is related by her slayer Perseus: Neptune raped her in the temple of Minerva, and the goddess turned her hair into snakes out of divine vengeance for the desecration of her sanctuary. With few exceptions, most Ovid scholars are hesitant to posit any explanation for Medusa’s appearance at the temple, which does not appear to be justified in Ovid’s poem as it stands. In this article, the possibilities will be further explored: was Medusa (1) a priestess, (2) a suppliant or (3) simply a young woman of otherwise

Abstract:

The so-called Serapeum of Thessalonica was not dedicated only to Serapis, nor has this name survived through the ancient sources; the name Serapeum was given by the researchers who excavated the site in the early 20th century and has survived ever since. it consists of at least four buildings: a small temple with a rectangular plan, another small temple in antis or prostyle with a crypt, and some other auxiliary spaces. The large number of statues and inscriptions suggests that the sanctuary hosted the cult of the Isiac family but also other deities such as Aphrodite, Athena, Pan. All these ar

Abstract:

The Eurymedon palm tree, dedicated by the Athenians in Delphi to celebrate their victory against the Persians at the Eurymedon, was made of a statue of Athena, which stood on a bronze palm tree. This dedication was still visible in the sanctuary of Delphi in the Imperial age, when Plutarch and Pausanias saw it. Through an analysis of their descriptions of the monument, this article investigates the value the offering got in the Imperial age and proposes a new reading of Pausanias’ text, based on a comparison with Plutarch. Moreover, some observations on the mention of the Eurymedon palm tree i

Pythagoras’ life, teaching and contribution in science and philosophy has been transfigured by legend, which hardly can be separated. Tracing his fingerprints of mathematical nature is attempted here, based on evidence from great technical works and temples accomplished during his time in Samos and Magna Graecia. The application of the Pythagorean triples in the design of the Athena temple at Paestum built in c. 520 BC has already been established and was considered to attest the Pythagorean consciousness of the architect. Similar conclusions are also drawn in this article from the layou

Abstract The subject of this paper is the rediscovery of the great urban sanctuary of Selinus between the early 19th and early 20th century, from Jacob Ignaz Hittorff to Ettore Gàbrici. The great urban sanctuary is understood to be the area of the acropolis delimited to the south by the SB road, to the west by the SA road, to the north by the Sf road and to the east by the massive terraced steps used to double the size of the sacred area in the second half of the 6th century. Overall, the Selinuntine sanctuary represents one of the largest sacred areas of the Western Greeks, comparable with th

Even though nature is accepted to be an integral part of classical architecture, there is limited scholarship on this aspect. This paper aims to contribute to this literature with a focus specifically on the transformation of attitudes towards nature in the classical culture and on the influence of this transformation to sanctuary planning. Through an argument focusing not only on architecture, but also on art and literature, it tries to establish an overall understanding of the natural in the classical culture.   An earlier attitude towards nature was a result of the mythological

The Ancient Boeotians refer to the inhabitants of Boeotia, a regional ethnic group located in central, between Attica and Phocis. In the Homeric 'Catalogue of Ships' the region was divided into two regions, one called Boeotia and the other referred to as Minyan. The people of the region fit into the definition of Greek identity. The main deity of the Boeotians was Athena Itonia, who was worshipped at Coronea, as well as Zeus; the two became the chief deities of the region in the Hellenistic period. There were also a series of related cults to Apollo across the region, located at Mount Ptoion (
