ALCOCK. - No one disputes the centrality of cult activity in the lives of individuals and communities in ancient Greece. The significance of where people worshipped their gods, and its influence on their conceptual geography, has been less acknowledged. In 1984 François de Polignac argued that the placing of cult centres played a major part in establishing the concept of the city-state in archaic Greece. The essays in this collection, headed by that of de Polignac himself in which he reassesses his position, critically examine the social and political importance of sanctuary placement, not only by re-examining the case of archaic Greece discussed by Polignac, but by extending analysis both back to Mycenaean times and onwards to Greece under Roman occupation. These essays reveal something of the complexity of relations between religion and politics in ancient Greece, demonstrating how vital factors such as tradition, gender relations, and cult identity were in creating and maintaining the religious mapping of the Greek countryside. - Susan E. Alcock is Assistant Professor in Classical Archaeology and Classics, University of Michigan, and Robin Osborne is a University Lecturer in Ancient History and Fellow and Tutor at Corpus Christi College, Oxford.
