Attic Sanctuaries
This chapter presents six examples of Attic sanctuaries of the late Archaic and Classical periods, divided into two categories based on their principal ritual purposes. The first group, including Eleusis, Sounion, and Brauron, were sites of Panathenian festivals and, in many respects, can be considered under the rubric of polis religious activity. The second group, encompassing Rhamnous, Cape Zoster, and Ikaria, are more properly evaluated as deme‐specific sanctuaries that, while certainly accessible to other demesmen and Athenians, nevertheless catered to their immediate populations. The geographic and political extent of Athenian power was, in many ways, made manifest by these extra‐urban sanctuaries, particularly those along the terrestrial and sea borders. The deme sanctuaries illustrate the vibrancy of the demes in the Archaic and Classical period: their resources, their site specificity, their connections with local communities, neighboring areas, and the polis at large.
