Sumario:The article focuses on a volume that compiles eleven scholarly papers examining ancient Greek religious practices and cultic interactions, particularly between the Black Sea and the Aegean Sea. The contributions, resulting from a session at the 12th International Congress of South-East European Studies, explore various aspects of ritual practices, mythical narratives, and the religious landscapes of Greek poleis, with a primary emphasis on Megara and the Western Black Sea. The papers utilize diverse methodologies and cover a wide geographical range, from the straits of Gibraltar to the northern Black Sea, and span from the Archaic period to the end of the Principate, offering new insights into the complexities of ancient Greek religion and its societal roles.
