A monograph concerning the sanctuary of Dodona and its role in the
political context of Epirus might be a remarkable input. Located in
a region that has received more interest in the last years, this
book attempts to analyze the way the shrine evolved in connection
with the political developments of its surrounding region. The
study employs a diachronic perspective and emphasizes throughout
that religion was a dynamic, not a static, phenomenon. The
chronology of this research extends from the Archaic to Hellenistic
periods. Its key novelty is that it offers an entirely new holistic
approach to an ancient religious site by considering its
polyfunctionality. At the same time that it presents a
state-of-the-art analysis of the shrine of Dodona and contributes
with a new theory concerning the function of some structures
located in the sacred area, it also highlights the close connection
between a settlement and its region. For this reason, the aim is to
become a reference work that allows continuing the current trend of
studies focused on Epirus, a territory traditionally considered as
secondary.
