Delphi, although by far the most prestigious, was not the only
oracular site dedicated to the god of prophecy. The Oracles of
Apollo in Asia Minor, first published in 1985, presents the first
unified account of these lesser-known religious establishments: at
Didyma, Claros, Gryneion and Patara. Many Greek communities in Asia
Minor turned to Apollo for advice on conduct in their affairs, and
it is at the oracles that we can discern the most explicit
interaction between normal people and their traditional religion.
Oracular interventions in history are examined, as is the
organisation of the shrines themselves, and the methods of
consultation in the mysterious darkened passages of Didyma or on
the bright headland of Claros. The Oracles of Apollo in Asia Minor
is accessibly written, does not require a prior familiarity with
Classical Greek, and will be of value to students of ancient
religion, Greek culture and archaeology.
