Which dimensions of the religious experience of the ancient Greeks
become tangible only if we foreground its local horizons? This book
explores the manifold ways in which Greek religious beliefs and
practices are encoded in and communicate with various local
environments. Its individual chapters explore 'the local' in its
different forms and formulations. Besides the polis perspective,
they include numerous other places and locations above and below
the polis-level as well as those fully or largely independent of
the city-state. Overall, the local emerges as a relational concept
that changes together with our understanding of the general or
universal forces as they shape ancient Greek religion. The unity
and diversity of ancient Greek religion becomes tangible in the
manifold ways in which localizing and generalizing forces interact
with each other at different times and in different places across
the ancient Greek world.
