Reviews
"For decades, this seminal book has exerted a far-reaching influence over a research domain increasingly popular among scholars of Hellenistic history, and one can reasonably expect that it will continue doing so in the upcoming future, also thanks to this new English edition. That a first work can have this brilliant destiny, is more than what most scholars (including the writer of this review) are reasonably allowed to wish for themselves." --S.G.

Synopsis
In the Hellenistic period of Greek history, communities often offered honors and titles to representatives of certain dynasties. Modeled on the earlier civic practice of creating a cult for important mythological or divine figures, the more modern ruler cult signified which figures were important to a city and its region, and represented the city's appreciation in return for favors or military services offered. Divine Honors for Mortal Men in Greek Cities: The Early Cases presents Christian Habicht's argument for the handling of these ruler cults in mainland Greece and the islands, relying upon contemporary testimony, down to 240 BCE. John Noel Dillon's faithful yet inviting translation of the 1970 German edition presents the author's updated case studies based on inscriptional discoveries since that time. Divine Honors also includes updated supplemental material encompassing additional bibliography, and detailed subject and source indices., First translation of Christian Habicht's 1970 German Gottmenschentum und Griechische Städte on ruler cults in the Hellenistic period of Greek history. Updated case studies take account of inscriptional discoveries since the original and additional supplemental material, including detailed subject and source indexes and bibliography.

    My book arrived in good condition. Packaging was a rigid cardboard mailer, and it protected my book well. It was shipped in a reasonable amount of time, but I was still prompted to reach out to inquire further about it. Seller communication was very good, answering me within 24-hours. I was told shipping can take 9-15 days to happen... it arrived within 10 days after purchase. I would purchase from this seller again. Two thumbs up!

    Book arrived as described, packed inside a cardboard envelope which I like because it protects the corners from damage in transit. Great price and arrived ahead of the estimated delivery date. I value book sellers who package this way to ensure the books arrive safely, will bookmark you guys for future book purchases.
