About this product
Product Information
The Greek gods are still very much present in modern consciousness. Although Apollo and Dionysos, Artemis and Aphrodite, Zeus and Hermes are household names, it is much less clear what these divinities meant and stood for in ancient Greece. In fact, they have been very much neglected in modern scholarship. This book brings together a team of international scholars with the aim of remedying this situation and generating new approaches to the nature and development of the Greek gods in the period from Homer until Late Antiquity. The book looks at individual gods, but also asks to what extent cult, myth and literary genre determine the nature of a divinity. How do the Greek gods function in a polytheistic pantheon and what is their connection to the heroes? What is the influence of philosophy? What does archaeology tell us about the gods? In what way do the gods in Late Antiquity differ from those in classical Greece? This book presents a synchronic and diachronic view of the gods as they functioned in Greek culture until the triumph of Christianity.

Reviews
Scholars and others will hugely welcome the reappearance, now in its paperback form, of the fifth in the invaluable series of Edinburgh Leventis Studies. The renascence of theoretically sophisticated research into the often desperately foreign world of ancient Greek polytheism is perfectly captured by this deeply learned, far-shooting and richly various collection., This volume is essential reading for all those interested directly or indirectly in ancient Greek religion...as it offers an overview of the progress of research in this area., This is a very rich collection of papers which no one interested in ancient Greek religion can afford to miss.

The book is a new copy (as I ordered). Arrived within the frame time. There was no way to track the shipping (which was annoying but I didn't try to contact the seller). The book was packaged in a secure envelope which protected it.
