SACRIFICES HUMAINS/HUMAN SACRIFICES PERSPECTIVES CROISEES ET REPRESENTATIONS/CROSS-CULTURAL PERSPECT

Description:

"The present volume is not concerned with the historical reality of human sacrifice....Rather, it is interested in how different ancient cultures represented human sacrifice differently, both theirs and that of others, either as an event or a symbol....The core of the volume is concerned with the abundantly detailed material of ancient Greece."--P.
