The Myth of Sacred Prostitution in Antiquity

This book shows that sacred prostitution did not exist in the ancient world. Whereas many scholars believe that ancient people prostituted themselves for religion, this is simply not the case. This book re-examines texts arguing for the existence of sacred prostitution and disproves these theories.
