religion: influencing the gods

prayer

sacrifice facilitated the channel to open

doesnt need to be recieved eg. Iliad

priests may direct it/ prompt

magic

forcing the gods to act rather than influence

positive? eg. love spells - Atalanta and apples

Demosthenes- on executing a sorceress due to bad intentions, not magic itself

Curses

popular from 4th c.

tablet form Pella, Macedonia cursing man not be married

curse tablets were a normal mode of action that aimed to bind/ twist the targets

lead dill and coffin from Karemikos with 9 male names in the lid- court case?

great work!
