ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ
The hero Achilles was worshipped since the 6th century BC in many areas of Greece and beyond, particularly on the shores of the Black Sea. The cult was more widespread in the region of Olbia Pontica and on the small island of Leuke. The religious practices are not known in detail. Inscriptions refer to games in honour of Achilles, as well as to the relationship between the cult and the sea travellers. |
