Cult

Abstract

The term cult comprises all acts concerning the worship of the Gods.

In Hellenismos, the religious ritual can be interpreted as a representation of Cosmic Order (κοσμος). Therefore, all "celebrations with ritual character" (εορται) in reconstructed hellenic polytheism can be seen under this aspect 1).

Formally, we distinguish between private and public cult, and concerning cultic expression, between prayer and offering.
