Note publique d'information : This book asks why politically-powerful entities invested in the Amphiareion, a sanctuary
renowned for its precarity and dependency. The answer lies in unravelling the intricacies
of the shrine’s epigraphical record and the stories about the communities and individuals
responsible for creating it. By explaining patterns in inscribed display against the
backdrop of broader events and phenomena emerging within central Greece, this book
revisits the Amphiareion’s narrative and emphasises its political implications for
its neighbours. This interpretation offers new perspectives on the sanctuary and exposes
agents’ manipulation of it in the course of reinventing their self-image in a changing
Greek world.
