Excerpt from Greek Votive Offerings: An Essay in the History of Greek Religion In ancient times Polemon wrote an account of the votive offerings on the Acropolis of Athens in four books, and another of those in Lacedaemon; Menetor wrote also a book on votive offerings. Since their day the subject has met with scant attention; there is no general work dealing with it, and I know only of Tomasino's book on Roman votive offerings, the pamphlets of Reisch and Zieinann, and the articles in the Dictionaries of Smith, of Darernberg and Saglio, and in Pauly's Realencyclopadie (Donarium, Donaria). A number of essays have, however, appeared on special parts of the subject, particularly in the archaeological journals, which will be found cited in the notes to this book. Most of them have their value, but it consists chiefly in their collection and presentation of facts. I have not wittingly used the work of others without acknowledgment; but inasmuch as most of my collections were made before I met with the books and articles alluded to, I have not thought it necessary to refer to these for quotations which we have found independently. I must particularly mention, however, Mr J. G. Frazer's Pausanias, which has been of great help in revising my book.

Dedicating objects to the divine was a central component of both Greek and Roman religion. Some of the most conspicuous offerings were shaped like parts of the internal or external human body: so-called ?anatomical votives?. These archaeological artefacts capture the modern imagination, recalling vividly the physical and fragile bodies of the past whilst posing interpretative challenges in the present. This volume scrutinises this distinctive dedicatory phenomenon, bringing together for the first time a range of methodologically diverse approaches which challenge traditional assumptions and simple categorisations. The chapters presented here ask new questions about what constitutes an anatomical votive, how they were used and manipulated in cultural, cultic and curative contexts and the complex role of anatomical votives in negotiations between humans and gods, the body and its disparate parts, divine and medical healing, ancient assemblages and modern collections and collectors. In seeking to re-contextualise and re-conceptualise anatomical votives this volume uniquely juxtaposes the medical with the religious, the social with the conceptual, the idea of the body in fragments with the body whole and the museum with the sanctuary, crossing the boundaries between studies of ancient religion, medicine, the body and the reception of antiquity.
