Abstract
Ancient Greek voluntary associations were groups deliberately founded by private persons for a common aim. They were joined by the members of their own free will. Whatever the focus of their activities, most of these groups had some cultic aspects. They differ from the subdivisions of the polis, to which a person belonged by force of his being a citizen.
