The delegates are usually called the?roi, literally 'observers', and a delegation made up of the?roi, or the action of taking part in one, is called the?ri?. This is the first comprehensive study of the?roi and the?ri?. It examines a number of key functions of the?roi and explains who served in this role and what their activities are likely to have been, both on the journey and at the sanctuary. Other chapters discuss the diplomatic functions of the?roi, and what their activities tell us about the origins of the notion of Greek identity and about religious networks. Chapters are also devoted to the reception of the notion of the?ri? in Greek philosophy and literature. The book will be essential for all scholars and advanced students of ancient religion. 517 3 $aState Pilgrims & Sacred Observers in Ancient Greece 607 $aGreece$xReligion 676 $a292.5/1 700 $aRutherford$b Ian$f1959-$0152795 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910964050703321 996 $aState pilgrims and sacred observers in ancient Greece$94426636 997 $aUNINA
