This volume is a collection of papers on the subject of sacrifice in the ancient world, shifting the attention from sacrifices in ancient Greece to those in the entire ancient world. Such an approach seems justified, especially considering that the sacrificial ritual is a common feature of ancient cultures, and studying it in such a broad, interdisciplinary approach brings us closer to understanding the essence of this phenomenon. We hope that this endeavor of investigating this common anthropological aspect of culture will be continued on the basis of subsequent meetings of researchers from around the world, representing various scientific disciplines, from philology, history and religious studies to anthropology and philosophy.

The book "Animal Sacrifice in the Ancient World" is an invaluable source of knowledge for anyone interested in ancient history, religion, and anthropology. The authors, Krzysztof Bielawski and Matylda Amat Obryk, are distinguished specialists in their fields who have undertaken this difficult topic with passion and commitment. Thanks to their work, we can better understand the complexity and richness of ancient culture, and appreciate the value of an interdisciplinary approach in scientific research.
