Aphrodite Pandemos at Naukratis

Abstract

<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: 21px;"> <!--StartFragment--><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; font-family: Times; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Times; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">The divine epithet <em>pandemos</em> (as in Aphrodite Pandemos) is clarified by examining the case of Naukratis, which was not a political community. Thus at the cult site in question, not an Aphrodite &ldquo;of the whole <em>demos</em>&rdquo; but &ldquo;for all people.&rdquo;</span><!--EndFragment--> </span></span>
