요약Studying the manipulation of divination in ancient Greece (6th-4th centuries BCE) - which included interference in the processes of oracular consultations, sacrifices, and other methods of divine communication - helps us better understand the roles played in Greece by belief, religion, and divination in sociopolitical decision-making. To that end, I examine the evidence for the manipulation of oracular and other divine consultations. I argue that, regarding oracles, belief in the efficacy of divination and an unwillingness to question the gods overrode concerns about corruption, since our ancient accounts show that manipulated oracles were accepted as valid and treated as legitimate; moreover, manipulators were rarely punished or criticized. However, regarding independent diviners, I find that the more obvious presence of human intermediaries in the divinatory processes increased anxieties and resulted in more accusations of corruption.Additionally, analysis of manipulation within specific ancient Greek poleis provides important political context, as democratic and dyarchic governments produce different patterns of action and reaction concerning divinatory manipulation. On the one hand, Sparta's prominent involvement in oracular manipulation can be attributed to the unusual importance of piety and divination in the Spartan politeia, especially connected to the religious rights and privileges of the dual kingship. In contrast, the structural and ideological framework of Athenian democracy meant that Athenians typically engaged in more subtle forms of divinatory manipulation, since the use of divination in Athens was bound by the role of communal deliberation in the assembly and the shared religious responsibility of the demos.The arguments advanced in this dissertation improve our understanding of the processes of divination and its manipulation during oracular consultation and independent divination, reinforce the importance of belief in the use and effectiveness of divinatory manipulation, and advance our interpretation of how divination and its manipulation were integrated into polis structures and ideologies.
