About This Item
Oxford University Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1996. Hardcover. 0198149794 . Minor shelfwear. Scholars' bookplate to inner cover (Slater & Dunbabin). Very faint bumping to a couple of corners. Ffep is creased. DJ has minor shelfwear. ; 1 x 9.75 x 6.75 Inches; 400 pages; Inadequately documented, ancient Greek religion can all too easily be reduced to the dry analysis of archaeological remains and so-called `ritual objects'. This authoritative new work attempts to bridge the gap that usually divides Greek religion from Greek history, setting it firmly in the thick of contemporary events and politics. How did people actually worship the gods? Was Socrates's trial a crisis for religion or the state, or both? These are among the key issues addressed in what promises to be the definitive work on the subject for many years to come. .
