Religion and the Greeks

No area of Greek experience was wholly untouched by religion, and a basic knowledge of this aspect of life is essential to anyone seeking a proper understanding of the classical world. In this engaging and highly readable book, Robert Garland brings out the unique quality of Greek religion--its practical and worldly approach to man's relationship with the divine--and shows how religious ritual was integral to the daily routine of both public and private life. Although the book assumes no knowledge of Greek, it contains many passages in translation in which key terms have been transliterated.Garland, Robert is the author of 'Religion and the Greeks', published 2001 under ISBN 9781853994098 and ISBN 185399409X.
