ABSTRACT
The short epilogue addresses some of the methodological and theoretical implications of the book's arguments and makes some suggestions for going forward. Materiality was fundamental to Greek religious experience and should be an important consideration in our reconstructions. Frameworks of lived religion (as opposed to Lived Ancient Religion) can effectively be applied to Greek antiquity. This approach underscores that some worshippers sought emotionally rich, affectionate, and even devotional relationships with supernatural beings. Focusing on individuals and smaller groups while also foregrounding personal experience also helps to break down the religious typologies that have been a longtime feature in our discipline.
