In Urban Rituals in Sacred Landscapes in Hellenistic Asia Minor,
Christina G. Williamson examines the phenomenon of monumental
sanctuaries in the countryside of Asia Minor that accompanied the
second rise of the Greek city-state in the Hellenistic period.
Moving beyond monolithic categories, Williamson provides a
transdisciplinary frame of analysis that takes into account the
complex local histories, landscapes, material culture, and social
and political dynamics of such shrines in their transition towards
becoming prestigious civic sanctuaries. This frame of analysis is
applied to four case studies: the sanctuaries of Zeus Labraundos,
Sinuri, Hekate at Lagina, and Zeus Panamaros. All in Karia, these
well-documented shrines offer valuable insights for understanding
religious strategies adopted by emerging cities as they sought to
establish their position in the expanding world.
