Subject: [Antiquitas] HelRAW seminar 7.12.2020: Patrik Klingborg, "Utilitarian uses of water in Greek sanctuaries”

Dear all,

The last Helsinki Research on the Ancient World (HelRAW) seminar of 2020 takes place on December 7th with Patrik Klingborg and the talk “Utilitarian uses of water in Greek sanctuaries”.

Abstract: A reliable water supply is necessary for human survival and well-being. This need is particularly acute in the seasonally warm and dry Mediterranean climate, and it is, consequently, unsurprising that remains of extensive water supply infrastructure have been found at many Greek sanctuaries. Individuals visiting these sites, and often staying some time, would require water for a number of everyday activities, e.g. drinking, cooking and washing. Despite this, modern scholarship has largely ignored practical needs for water at Greek sanctuaries. Instead, water supply infrastructure has regularly been interpreted in terms of the religious significance of water, in particular for rituals of purification, cleaning of cult images and healing. The aim of this paper is to move away from the focus on water in Greek sanctuaries as used for activities where it played a central religious function and instead explore other, pragmatic, forms of water usages at these sites. What non-ritual activities in Greek sanctuaries required water, when and how much?
