  In this study, Stephanie Budin demonstrates that sacred
prostitution, the sale of a person's body for sex in which some or all of the money earned was devoted to a deity or a
temple, did not exist in the ancient world. Reconsidering the evidence from the ancient Near East, the Greco-Roman
texts, and the Early Christian authors, Budin shows that the majority of sources that have traditionally been understood
as pertaining to sacred prostitution actually have nothing to do with this institution. The few texts that are usually
invoked on this subject are, moreover, terribly misunderstood. Furthermore, contrary to many current hypotheses, the
creation of the myth of sacred prostitution has nothing to do with notions of accusation or the construction of a
decadent, Oriental "Other." Instead, the myth has come into being as a result of more than 2,000 years of
misinterpretations, false assumptions, and faulty methodology. The study of sacred prostitution is, effectively, a
historiographical reckoning.
  
  Reviews
  "...meticulous examination...clear argumentation. The book is a thrilling expose' of historiography at its worst."
--TLS
  
  "Throughout most of the book the material is presented well
and each avenue is thoroughly explored. It provides a good grounding for students studying Ancient Greece and Rome to
explore this hotly debated topic." --Rosetta
  
  "This well-researched
and often humorously written monograph deals with what the author calls the "myth of sacred prostitution." The author
uses the word "myth" to denote something that is widely believed but has no foundation in reality, along the line of the
modern expression "urban myth." She makes her point forcefully: although sacred prostitution is regarded in multiple
scholarly books and dictionaries as an actual historical phenomenon, it never existed. Budin's book investigates both
the ancient Near East and the Mediterranean world. As such, it breaks new ground, as most previous similar studies have
dealt exclusively with Mesopotamia." --Review of Biblical Literature
  

 "B. has written a thought-provoking book that forces the reader to rethink the institution of sacred prostitution and
even historical method more generally. She collects together and analysis in context all references associated with
sacred prostitution, making the book essential reading on the topic. In general, she is convincing in her conclusion
that sacred prostitution has no historical authority and that scholars have wrongfully manipulated evidence to support
such an institution. Since the belief in sacred prostitution has in many ways impeded the study of prostitution more
generally, particularly at Corinth, this conclusion is to be welcomed." --Classical
Review
  
  Book Description II
  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 reexamines texts arguing for the existence of sacred
prostitution and disproves these theories.
