  3. 3. Gli Eroi Greci. Un Problema Storico Religioso

    Un problema storico-religioso

    A study of the Greek “hero” as a distinct religious category, it traces the emergence and development of hero cults, emphasizing their tomb-centered, chthonic rites, local power, and mediating role between community and past. Drawing on literary, archaeological, and epigraphic evidence, it distinguishes heroes from gods and ancestors, maps their main types (founders, warriors, civic benefactors), and shows how myth and ritual intertwined to legitimize institutions, anchor communal identity, and adapt to historical and political change from the archaic era onward.
