Originally published in 1910, this book analyses the customs and
superstitions of modern Greece as a means of gaining a greater
understanding of ancient Greek belief structures. Analogies and
coincidences between ancient and modern Greece had been pointed out
prior to the publication of this edition, but no large attempt had
been made to trace the continuity of the life and thought of the
Greek people, and to exhibit modern Greek folklore as an essential
factor in the interpretation of ancient Greek religion. The text is
highly accessible, and all quotations from ancient and modern Greek
are translated into English. This is a fascinating book that will
be of value to anyone with an interest in anthropology and the
classical world.
