The Politics of Sacrifice in Early Greek Myth and Poetry
Stocking, Charles H. (University of Western Ontario)
This book offers a new interpretation of ancient Greek sacrifice from a cultural poetic perspective. Through close readings of key texts and the evidence from material culture, it argues that the ritual of sacrifice operates as a cultural mechanism for the perpetuation of patriarchal ideology throughout Greek cultural history.
