ing pieces of evidence for ancient Greek religion. This col-
lection brings together a number of previously published and unpub-
lished studies from scholars around the world, making accessible to a
wider audience some of the new methodologies being applied to the
study of these tablets. The volume also contains an updated edition of
the tablet texts, re
ecting the most recent discoveries and accompa-
nied by English translations and critical apparatus. This survey of
trends in the scholarship, with an up-to-date bibliography, not only
provides an introduction to the serious study of the tablets, but also
illuminates their place within scholarship on ancient Greek religion.
