Description
Tantalizingly little documented, ancient Greek religion is all too often reduced to the dry analysis of archaeological remains. This major work attempts to bring ancient religion to life, setting it firmly in the thick of contemporary social and political events. How did people actually worship the gods? Was Socrates' trial a crisis for religion or the state, or both? These are among the key issues addressed.
