Greek Religion: A Sourcebook

Greek Religion: A Sourcebook provides an introduction to the fundamentals of ancient Greek religious beliefs and rituals through a rich collection of ancient source readings. The translations draw from the Focus Classical Library sources as well as new translations by the author and other outstanding scholars. Chapters cover such topics as ancient magic, mystery cults, divination, and festivals. Illustrated throughout with photos and maps, this book is designed as a companion to Valerie Warrior's Roman Religion: A Sourcebook.

I can't believe how great this book is. It covers a multitude of topics dealing with Ancient Greek Religion and arranges all the topics in groups along with giving sources who commented about the topic. This book is extremely beneficial to anyone who is an actual practicing member of Hellenismos Reconstruction. It gives both the name of person quoted, date, source found and who translated the document or artifact. It covers religious life, festivals, marriage, death and oh so much more. Don't lose a chance obtaining this book. I am so glad I added this book to my collection. HELLENISMOS TODAY AND FOREVER!

Not comparable to Bukert' s Greek Religion.

Great condition

This book was required for an Ancient Greek Religion course I am taking. Easy to access and read. Author has own opinion on meaning of ancient test, as do most in the field.
