This is a thorough examination of the literary and iconographical evidence for female hero cults in the ancient Greek world (8th-4th centuries BC). Mythical women were mainly worshipped in familial groups or in collaboration with male heroes and, suggests Larson, played an important role in reinforcing establishment values in Greek society. She shows how heroic cults reinforced the Greeks' gender expectations for both women and men through ritual status, iconography, and narrative motifs, and examines themes such as maiden sacrifice, the Amazons, the role of the goddess Artemis and female ghost beliefs in folklore.
