ABSTRACT
Although Athena was intimately associated with Athens as its patron and symbol, she was also worshipped in the wider Greek world, throughout the cities of the mainland and islands and also in the peripheries of Greek influence to the east and west. This chapter will be concerned with perceptions and cults of Athena in various cities and regions. We will attempt to recover distinctive aspects of the goddess in some of her places of worship while considering how far aspects that we have explored in Chapters 1-7 are evident in particular localities.
