Opis
The subject of this work is the cult of goddess Hera in the Greek colony of Poseidonia, in Southern Italy. The work focuses on the process through which the local Italic Lucanians preserved and continued the cult after they had taken control of the city from the Greeks sometime between 420 and 410 BCE. Archaeological material, such as votive clay figurines, and the topographical and architectural features of several cultic places were employed as the primary data sources. By combining evidence from the iconographic typologies of the clay figurines and the topography and the architecture of both Greek and Lucanian sanctuaries, this work postulates that the absorption and the reshaping of the cult of Hera was a natural process for the Lucanians, since they had long had deities who shared the same attributes as Hera in their own religion. Scholars have studied the cult of Hera in Poseidonia almost exclusively as a Greek phenomenon. The Lucanians have been considered only as adopters of the cult following a unidirectional Hellenisation process.
