Opis: Greek Votive Offerings - Rouse William Henry Denham

Excerpt from Greek Votive Offerings: An Essay in the History of Greek Religion

In ancient times Polemon wrote an account of the votive offerings on the Acropolis of Athens in four books, and another of those in Lacedaemon; Menetor wrote also a book on votive offerings. Since their day the subject has met with scant attention; there is no general work dealing with it, and I know only of Tomasino's book on Roman votive offerings, the pamphlets of Reisch and Zieinann, and the articles in the Dictionaries of Smith, of Darernberg and Saglio, and in Pauly's Realencyclopadie (Donarium, Donaria). A number of essays have, however, appeared on special parts of the subject, particularly in the archaeological journals, which will be found cited in the notes to this book. Most of them have their value, but it consists chiefly in their collection and presentation of facts. I have not wittingly used the work of others without acknowledgment; but inasmuch as most of my collections were made before I met with the books and articles alluded to, I have not thought it necessary to refer to these for quotations which we have found independently. I must particularly mention, however, Mr J. G. Frazer's Pausanias, which has been of great help in revising my book.
