In the Hellenistic period of Greek history, communities often
offered honours and titles to representatives of certain dynasties.
Modelled on the earlier civic practice of creating a cult for
important mythological or divine figures, the more modern ruler
cult signified which figures were important to a city and its
region, and represented the city's appreciation in return for
favours or military services offered. This book presents Christian
Habicht's argument for the handling of these ruler cults in
mainland Greece and the islands, relying upon contemporary
testimony, down to 240 BCE. John Noel Dillon's translation of the
1970 German edition also presents the author's updated case studies
based on inscriptional discoveries since that time. Includes
updated supplemental material, additional bibliography, and
detailed subject and source indexes.
