Minor Shrines in Ancient Athens

Abstract

PAUL FOUND A VERITABLE FOREST of idols at Athens-this is the meaning of the adjective kateidolos, as one may see by analogy with such words as katadendros.' Pausanias found shrines of a remarkable variety of deities wherever he went in his extensive tour of the city. The allpervading deisidaimonia or religiosity observed by these two is further illustrated not only in the literature of all periods and in the copious epigraphical records, but also in monuments found in situ, including some notable recent discoveries.
