N2 - The aim of this chapter is to examine the complex relationship between ritual and writing in the ancient world. The analysis focuses on: (1) the relationship between the actual ritual and the text that purports to describe or evoke the ritual to the intended addressees of the text; (2) the question of rhetorical persuasiveness achieved by the evocation of ritual in the minds of the intended recipients; (3) and, finally, the question of written texts which themselves may become objects of ritual.
