520 1 $a"This is the first comprehensive cultural history of priestesses in the ancient Greek world. Joan Breton Connelly presents the fullest and most vivid picture yet of how priestesses lived and worked, from the most famous and sacred of them - the Delphic Oracle and the priestess of Athena Polias - to basket bearers and handmaidens. In doing so, Connelly challenges long-held beliefs to show that priestesses played far more significant public roles in ancient Greece than was previously acknowledged." "Connelly builds this history through a pioneering and systematic examination of archaeological evidence in the broader context of literary sources, inscriptions, sculpture, and vase painting. She ranges from southern Italy to Asia Minor, and from the late Bronze Age to the fifth century A.D."--BOOK JACKET.
