Reviews

'All in all, Graham’s Periegesis is a significant contribution to Classical Archaeology and religious studies. Her meticulous approaches shed fresh light on the worship of “perhaps the most complex among the Greek gods,” opening new paths for exploration. Accompanied by 90, mostly color, images, three maps, and a carefully organized index, this work meets a felt need both for scholars and the general reader.' — Aeneas Kapouranis (2025): Bryn Mawr Classical Review 'The book is well illustrated with site plans, maps, and a generous number of color images from the various times and locations covered. Two background chapters introduce the pair as heroic figures and explain the author’s evidence, aims, and methodology. These are followed by two lengthy chapters summarizing the information gathered according to sites in the Peloponnese and the eastern Mediterranean.' – Tyler Jo Smith (2025): Religious Studies Review, Volume 51
