Illustrated scholarly articles in English, French, Italian, and German treat such topics as processions, sacrifices, libations, dedications, purification, initiation, divination, prayer, asylum, oaths, maledictions, banquets, music, dance, cult places, cult statues, and cult implements. The latter three volumes address the occasions and circumstances of ritual. The forty-one authors of Volume VIII write about public and private life, guilds, priesthoods, priestly colleges, and other institutions, law, diplomacy, war, festivals of various kinds, and religious links to neighboring societies. In addition, the book includes an addendum to Volume VI on death and burial in the Greek world, and a supplement on animals and plants. Volume VIII brings to completion this unique research tool.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Antoine Hermary\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 160606102X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781606061022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e J.
