In this book, Efrosyni Boutsikas examines ancient Greek religious
performances, intricately orchestrated displays comprising
topography, architecture, space, cult, and myth. These various
elements were unified in a way that integrated the body within
cosmic space and made the sacred extraordinary. Boutsikas also
explores how natural light or the night-sky may have assisted in
intensifying the experience of these rituals, and how they may have
determined ancient perceptions of the cosmos. The author's digital
and virtual reconstructions of ancient skyscapes and religious
structures during such occurrences unveil a deeper understanding of
the importance of time and place in religious experience. Boutsikas
shows how they shaped emotions, cosmological beliefs, and ritual
memory of the participants. Her study revolutionises our
understanding on ancient emotionality and cognitive experience,
demonstrating how Greek religious spaces were vibrant arenas of a
shared experience of the cosmos.
