Nuovi dati sui culti del settore meridionale del grande santuario urbano di Selinunte

This essay focuses on some of the votive offerings found during the excavations (2006-2012) by the Institute of Fine Arts – NYU in the southern sector of the main urban sanctuary of Selinunte, and more precisely in the area of Temple R. A series of elements suggests the attribution of this temple to a goddess, more likely Demeter. The discovery of a bone flute and a series of Corinthian kotylai with the iconography of the Frauenfest points to the performance of ritual dancing in association with this cult.
