What reading level is The Cults of the Greek States book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
the same conclusion, is found on a black-figured amphora of the Berlin Museum *, that shows worshippers bringing a cow to an altar, behind which stands the shielded goddess with the spear uplifted in her right hand (PI. XV. c). The altar is the large altar that stood before the Erechtheum, out of which Athena Polias must be supposed to have come to receive her sacrifice.
A third sacrificial scene appears on a relief in the Acropolis Museum ''. A group of worshippers are bringing a sow as an off...ering to the goddess, whose form is certainly different from that seen in the two monuments last mentioned ; for there is nothing warlike in her attitude or attributes, except for the helmet on her head. What concerns the present ques- tion is the erect pose of the figure, by which the sculptor was able to convey a casual allusion to the type of Athena Polias.
We may believe that the sow, an animal very rarely used in the ritual of Athena, is offered to her here because of her asso- ciation in certain rites and festivals with the goddesses of earth ; and this votive slab may have been connected in some way with the Arrhephoria.
