this work examines some of the major and less well known Greek
sanctuaries from a new light. The traditional approach to Greek
sanctuaries and especially temples has been descriptive. Much
emphasis is commonly placed on architectural features but only
rarely is there an attempt to look at the totality of functions
that a Greek sanctuary might encompass. This collection of articles
addresses the critical questions which related to the diverse
purposes of the sanctuaries: what was their social function? and
who were their clients? Regional links and variations are stressed,
while some sanctuaries are shown to have had particular uses such
as dining and initiation. Among the cults discussed are the
Eleusinian mysteries for which a new reconstruction is proposed.
