In Search of the Dioskouroi. Image, Myth and Cult: A 'periegesis'
Graham, Sarah V. (Independent Researcher, Wolfson College, University of Oxford)
This book re-examines the Greek Dioskouroi, Kastor and Polydeukes, exploring their roles in image, myth, and cult. Case studies focus on their homelands in myth – Sparta, Messene, and Argos – and areas where Greek mariners sought their protection. Findings suggest that, for the Greeks, the term ‘Dioskouroi’ may have held a specific votive meaning.
