"More than men, less than gods" is conceived as a demonstration project, with the
goal of opening new perspectives in the study of Graeco-Roman ruler worship. A principal
emphasis is placed on the effectiveness of a multidisciplinary approach to the subject.
The present volume points to some possible forerunners to Hellenistic royal cult and
emperor worship, or at least to the concept of the divine king, to supplement the
well-studied roots of ruler worship in the cultic life of the Greek polis and in pharaonic
Egypt. "More than men ..." aspires to contribute to the debate relative to divine
kingship, royal cult and emperor worship by opening new perspectives or reopening
old ones. The focus is in eliciting some audacious and innovative approaches to such
a complex phenomenon
