Description and Table of Contents

Description

In recent study Greek religion has often dissolved itself into many religions. This collection of 11 original essays examines the earliest traces of religious thought in the Minoan and Mycenaean cultures, and explores the resemblances between the religious ideas of the Greeks and of non-Greek areas of Asia. Patterns are revealed in the archaic and classical thought of Heraclitus, Herodotus and Sophocles.
