商品簡介
Historians, religious scholars, and archaeologists discuss various aspects of Greek religion during the archaic, classical, and Hellenistic periods, about 776-30 BC. They do not consider myth extensively, another volume in the series being devoted to that, but do encounter it often while examining other topics. Among those topics are the gods and the dead; local religious systems; mysteries and magic; and intersections of Greek religion with literature, philosophy, and art.
