Greek Polytheism: A Historical Subject

By Vinciane Pirenne-Delforge

Release : 2024-03-29

Genre : Ancient History, Books, History, Nonfiction, Social Science, Anthropology

Kind : ebook

(0 ratings)
Greek polytheism was not a simple collection of juxtaposed gods and goddesses, but a complex interplay between deities at different levels – local, regional and panhellenic. Significant evidence – combining literary, epigraphic, archaeological and iconographic sources – has profoundly renewed the study of Greek polytheism and made it a relevant subject to understand ancient societies from both a historical and anthropological perspective. Greek religion is deeply embedded in unexpected areas and bringing it to the fore helps to enrich our understanding of the ancient Greek world.
