Abstract

In the Introduction there is a discussion of methodologies for the study of ancient deities. In the monograph as a whole a conceptual approach to the goddess Fortuna will be proposed, which partially uses methods of conceptual history and aims at exploring the connection between deities and concepts. The Introduction discusses the advantages and disadvantages of current approaches to ancient deities and ancient religion (structuralism in particular), and explains the rationale for a study based on concepts and conceptual history, as well as the foreseeable benefits and limitations of this approach. This section also outlines the structure of the book.
