This handbook offers a comprehensive overview of scholarship in
ancient Greek religion, from the Archaic to the Hellenistic
periods. It presents not only key information, but also explores
the ways in which such information is gathered and the different
approaches that have shaped the area. In doing so, the volume
provides a crucial research and orientation tool for students of
the ancient world, and also makes a vital contribution to the key
debates surrounding the conceptualization of ancient Greek
religion. The handbook's initial chapters lay out the key
dimensions of ancient Greek religion, approaches to evidence, and
the representations of myths. The following chapters discuss the
continuities and differences between religious practices in
different cultures, including Egypt, the Near East, the Black Sea,
and Bactria and India. The range of contributions emphasizes the
diversity of relationships between mortals and the supernatural -
in all their manifestations, across, between, and beyond ancient
Greek cultures - and draws attention to religious activities as
dynamic, highlighting how they changed over time, place, and
context.
