"Dedicated to the memory of epigraphist Sara B. Aleshire, the publication is an engaging collection of fourteen articles tackling inscriptions ranging from previously unpublished material to well-known texts. Many chapters are accompanied by images of the inscriptions and other relevant material evidence, maps, and photographs of excavation sites; the volume boasts 53 illustrations. An index of inscriptions and papyri, an index of literary sources, and a general index are also included. The reader will find all these features very helpful in navigating the wide scope of topics covered in Greek Epigraphy and Religion. (...) The strength of Greek Epigraphy and Religion lies in its range of subject matter, particularly its engagement with current topics of academic interest, such as the revision of the ‘leges sacrae’ or the recently published Dodona tablets. (...) A second noteworthy aspect of this publication is its careful presentation of epigraphic sources. (...) a valuable and stimulating addition to the study of ancient Greek religion through the prism of epigraphy." - Karolina Frank, University of Warsaw, in: BMCR 2024.01.40
