It shifts the attention from Ancient Greek sacrifices (that was the topic in the first volume) to those in the whole of Antiquity. Such a perspective seems justified especially taking into account the fact that the sacrificial ritual is a common feature of ancient cultures, and studying it in such a broad, interdisciplinary approach brings us closer to understanding the essence of this phenomenon.
We hope that this endeavor of investigating this common anthropological aspect of culture will be continued on the basis of subsequent meetings of researchers from around the world in various scientific disciplines, from philological, historical and religious studies to anthropological and philosophical ones.
