Cambridge University Press, 2021. 2nd ed. XI,177p. ills.(B&W line drawings and photographs). Paperback. Series: New Surveys in the Classics, no.46. ?The first edition of this book by Jan N. Bremmer was published in 1994. For various reasons, including its clarity, discussion of all the central issues in Greek religion and extensive documentation, it became a key reference text for anyone undertaking research on the religion of the ancient Greeks. Given the subject matter, another laudable characteristic was its brevity, enabling the book to be used as a reliable source for any consultation, but also to be read and enjoyed in one sitting, as a monograph (?). (?) While working on an updated edition of a significant number of articles and papers previously published, Professor Bremmer (?) also decided to update this classic wok on Greek religion (?). Formally, this second edition is very similar to the first. It is somewhat longer (mainly due to an updated bibliography), but also (?) to an expansion of some of the sections) (?). The second edition of Greek Religion by Jan N. Bremmer, one of the undisputedly leading figures in current Greek religious studies, retains every single iota of its relevance and usefulness. (?)

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This brief but highly informative book presents an outline of Greek religion in the classical period. After surveying its main characteristics, it offers a clear and innovative view of the great gods and heroes as well as their sanctuaries and also the main myths, rituals and mysteries: from Athena to Zeus, from sacrifice to the puritan Orphics, from the Indo-European roots to the influence of the ancient Near East. The approach pays attention to the sociological, anthropological, and psychological aspects of Greek religion and also to the gender roles. By paying attention to the often modern origin of many of the notions employed in the analysis of Greek religion, it illustrates the difference between Greek polytheism and the place of religion in modern Western society. This second edition has been updated to account for the latest developments, and its bibliography makes this book very useful for students and teachers alike.…
