Like frogs around a pond: Maritime Religion and Seafaring Gods of Ancient Greek Culture

海洋宗教是古希腊文化中一个重要但被忽视的因素。在整个古典时代，航海神的崇拜包括登船仪式、海上祈祷和安全抵达的祭品，所有这些都有助于在地中海周围建立和维持一个集体的希腊文化身份。该项目旨在收集古希腊海洋宗教的文本和考古证据;探索航海神崇拜对古希腊民族身份，移民和殖民化的意义;并将古希腊海洋宗教与可比的现代习俗联系起来。

Maritime religion is an important but overlooked factor in ancient Greek culture. Cults of seafaring gods throughout classical antiquity included rituals of embarkation, prayers at sea and offerings for a safe arrival, all of which contributed to establishing and maintaining a collective Greek cultural identity around the Mediterranean Sea. This project aims to assemble both textual and archaeological evidence for ancient Greek maritime religion; to explore the significance of cults of seafaring gods for ancient Greek ethnic identity, migration and colonisation; and to contextualise ancient Greek maritime religion with comparable modern customs.
