This edition of Gilbert Murray's renowned examination of how
religion evolved in Ancient Greece, includes all of his original
notes. Murray was a renowned scholar of Greek classics, who used
his academic background as grounding for this astonishingly
detailed book on the topic of the Olympian Gods. How the pantheon
of Gods was conceived, and grew to eventually define large aspects
of Ancient Greek culture, form the topics at hand. The book begins
by examining the earliest surviving religious texts of Greek,
identifying the first indications of the Gods in the lore. The
increasing prevalence of writing among Greece's educated citizenry
sparked a growth in the number of Gods and Goddesses, and the
stories relating to them. However, Murray is careful to note that
there is no single event or turning point. For a scholarly work,
Five Stages of Greek Religion is of modest length. This attribute
defines it as a superb introductory primer to aspects of Olympian
religion.
