  What is a Greek priest? This volume, which has its origins in a symposium held at the Center for Hellenic Studies in Washington, DC, focuses on the question through a variety of lenses: the visual representation of cult personnel, priests as ritual experts, variations of priesthood, concepts and their transformation, and the role of manteis.
