description

This introduction suggests regarding ‘religion’ as a cultural product. The relationship between religion and memory can be investigated through the practice of oath-taking, a particularly sophisticated social tool in ancient Greece. It concerns, in fact, both the status of social trust and problematic intercourses between gods and human beings, who fi nd in oath a regulated and effective space of interrelation.
