In this fresh consideration of the origins of the ancient Greeks'
ideas and practices concerning their own past, Carla M. Antonaccio
demonstrates that hero cult and ancestor cult persisted, throughout
the Iron Age, long before epic poetry's heroic narratives were
widely disseminated. Although it was not until the dissolution of
Iron Age societies that epic poetry and organized hero cult
developed to aid claims to legitimacy, practices such as visiting
tombs to make offerings were common, and contradict the usual
picture of Iron Age religious conservatism.
