In the Greek world the gods were intricately linked to most aspects
of life so it should be no surprise that weapons and military
equipment were given as offerings to them in Greek sanctuaries.
Based on the author's thesis, this study examines how and why this
took place, how war, ritual and religion were linked, and includes
a catalogue of arms and other pieces of equipment that were
dedicated at particular sanctuaries. It concludes that most of the
weapons were presented as offerings, and may have been booty from
defeated enemuies, and that items from the military panoply were
dedications of personal equipment to the gods. Cult places of gods
such as Ares, Zeus, Apollo, Artemis and Athena are discussed in
turn as the author explores the role of the gods in the celebration
and commemoration of victory and the symbolism of trophies. Spanish
text.
