Description
This book offers a brief but excellent overview of the role of religion in Ancient Greece. The book also explores the mythology and ritual behind the Ancient Greeks' beliefs. It gives specific quotations from Greek historians, like Plutarch, which describe the myths, rituals and religious culture from a more on-the-ground perspective, lending the modern day reader a more intimate knowledge of the religious ideology of the time.
