Published by the Swedish Institute at Athens. Distributed by Astrom Editions. Ancient Greek cult practice from the epigraphical evidence. Proceedings of the Second International Seminar on Ancient Greek Cult organized by the Swedish Institute at Athens, 22–24 November 1991 Edited by Robin Hägg Abstract Thirteen papers read at an international seminar in Athens deal with various phenomena of Greek cult practice, analysing the information contained in inscriptions, such as sacred laws. Among the special topics discussed are: the definition of “state cult”, the arrival of Asclepius in Athens, the rite of theoxenia, regulations concerning everyday life in a Greek temenos, the occurrence of cakes in sacrifice regulations, the food and drink at two festivals on Delos, the role of musicians in Greek cult, the sacred laws of Lykosoura, the cult of Artemis Ortheia at Messene, the cult of Poseidon-Erechtheus on the Acropolis of Athens, the interpretation of lead curse tablets and other magical texts in Greek from Cyprus and Asia Minor.
