Ancient Greek Religion: A Sourcebook

by Emily Kearns

Containing over 200 primary sources or extracts from them, this book addresses the subject of Greek religion in all its complexity from the archaic period to the 4th century BC. The sources selected include not only literary extracts but also epigraphy, as well as painting and sculpture and other archaeologcal evidence. The book is designed with the student who is new to the study of Greek religion in mind and the lengthy introductory passages and annotations to the sources provide a wealth of background and interpretive detail, in fact this commentary is generally longer than the sources it describes. Topics include the gods themselves, human experience of and interaction with the divine, ritual in daily life, sanctuaries, priests and oracles. 370p b/w illus (Wiley-Blackwell 2010)
