Overview
Often ignored in studies of Classical Greek religion, private cults were widespread in the Hellenistic world.

Singular Dedications is the first comprehensive study of this phenomenon, examining three case studies that represent the diversity and complexity that characterize ancient Greek religion in the Classical period.
