This volume presents a case for how and why people in archaic and
classical Greece worshipped Underworld gods. These gods are often
portrayed as malevolent and transgressive, giving an impression
that ancient worshippers derived little or no benefit from
developing ongoing relationships with them. In this book, the first
book-length study that focuses on Underworld gods as an integral
part of the religious landscape of the period, Mackin Roberts
challenges this view and shows that Underworld gods are, in many
cases, approached and 'befriended' in the same way as any other
kind of god. Underworld Gods in Ancient Greek Religion provides a
fascinating insight into the worship of these deities, and will be
of interest to anyone working on ancient Greek religion and cult.
