Since the French excavations in the 1930s, the communis opinio has been that on Thasos Herakles was worshipped both as god and as hero, each with separate rites and sacrificial sites in the sanctuary. This view can scarcely be correct. The author has made a fresh, critical scrutiny of the whole evidence--the archaeological remains, texts and inscriptions--and has given us an essentially new picture of the sanctuary, its history, its different features and their functions and of the Thasian Heracles, his status and his cult. ; Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis Boreas.
