Greek Myth and Religion in the Sicilian Context

Abstract

The paper provides a complete panorama of the divine and heroic figures specific to Sicilian cultural contexts. It focuses on a number of mythological threads that are documented by iconographic sources and that define the ethnic and civic, political, and sociocultural identities of communities, groups, or individuals, as well as the island's religious landscape, in all its public, domestic, and funerary manifestations.
