Greek And Pre-Greek Oath : The Importance Of Styx, Marianina Demetri Olcott Jan 2009

Greek And Pre-Greek Oath : The Importance Of Styx, Marianina Demetri Olcott

Marianina Demetri Olcott

Rather, from an examination of a variety of textual sources we uncover evidence not only that Styx and Demeter are aspects of the same pre- Greek female deity but also that pre-Greek oaths may have been associated with certain stones rather than merely libations.
