I can't respond within the word limit here, but check out this paper by Smith (2015). It explains a lot of what I'm talking about :)

Essentially, we're too reliant on abstract social theory and haven't taken the time to bridge it to our material data.

Michael Smith has some excellent lines of argument and has been talking about social theory in archaeology since around 2011. Essentially, we're faced with epistemic uncertainty as a discipline due to a reliance on Grand Theory and a poor development of Middle Range to bridge empirical data.

I'd suggest Peter Agócs at UCL. He specialises in archaic and classical Greek poetry and is currently helping run the Graeco-Aegyptiaca conferences there. In the few lectures I've been to, he often draws parallels to the Mysteries and brings them into discussion.
