Abstract
Religion constitutes an aspect of one of the most prominent manifestations of culture, the human need to connect with the divine. Therefore, all possible ways of expressing this need can be detected almost everywhere. An area of great importance for the study of Greek religious landscapes is the complex of the Dodecanese islands, located in the south-east fringe of the Aegean Sea, in close proximity to the coast of Asia Minor. This paper aims to present briefly the mythical background and the material culture of the Dodecanesian religious landscape during the 1st millennium BC, which has been moulded through a thousand years of interaction between the human factor and nature.
