Abstract
Las procesiones fueron un aspecto fundamental dentro de la religión grecorromana para entender el vínculo entre el individuo, el rito y su contexto, un instrumento utilizado para afianzar el statu quo entre los miembros de una determinada comunidad. Incluso con la llegada de una imparable romanización, los pueblos que formaron Grecia siguieron practicando sus propios ritos culturales como señal, a veces, de reafirmación identitaria. Un ejemplo significativo —como en ocasiones ambiguo— de la relevancia que tuvieron las procesiones se ve en la Periegesis de Pausanias. En ella, Pausanias realizó un recorrido por toda Grecia intentando buscar la identidad del pueblo griego. La descripción de las procesiones en su obra no fue más que, efectivamente, uno de los muchos medios que Pausanias utilizó para encontrar una respuesta a dicha incógnita.
Processions were a key aspect in Greco-Roman religion in order to understand the bond between the individual, the rite and its context, a resource used to reinforce the statu quowithin the members of a given community. Even with the arrival of an unstoppable romanization, the people of Greece continued to practice their own cultural rites as sometimes a form of reassertion of their own identity.We can see a meaningful —although not less ambiguous too—example of the importance of processions in Pausanias’ Periegesis.Pausanias set off on a journey throughout all Greece in an attempt to find the identity of the Greek nation, which he later captured in his books. The description ofprocessions was, as we shall see, one of the many means he used to find an answer to such a question
