In ancient Athens, the Panathenaia was the most important festival
and was celebrated in honour of Athena from the middle of the sixth
century BC until the end of the fourth century AD. This in-depth
study examines how this all-Athenian celebration was an occasion
for constructing identities and how it affected those identities.
Since not everyone took part in the same way, this differential
participation articulated individuals' relationships both to the
goddess and to the city so that the festival played an important
role in negotiating what it meant to be Athenian (and
non-Athenian). Julia Shear applies theories of identity formation
which were developed in the social sciences to the ancient Greek
material and brings together historical, epigraphical, and
archaeological evidence to provide a better understanding both of
this important occasion and of Athenian identities over the
festival's long history.
