This is the first integrated study of Greek religion and cults of
the Black Sea region, centred upon the Bosporan Kingdom of its
northern shores, but with connections and consequences for Greece
and much of the Mediterranean world. David Braund explains the
cohesive function of key goddesses (Aphrodite Ourania, Artemis
Ephesia, Taurian Parthenos, Isis) as it develops from archaic
colonization through Athenian imperialism, the Hellenistic world
and the Roman Empire in the East down to the Byzantine era. There
is a wealth of new and unfamiliar data on all these deities, with
multiple consequences for other areas and cults, such as Diana at
Aricia, Orthia in Sparta, Argos' irrigation from Egypt, Athens'
Aphrodite Ourania and Artemis Tauropolos and more. Greek religion
is shown as key to the internal workings of the Bosporan Kingdom,
its sense of its landscape and origins and its shifting
relationships with the rest of its world.
