Lewis Richard Farnell's five-volume The Cults of the Greek States,
first published between 1896 and 1909, disentangles classical Greek
mythology and religion, since the latter had often been overlooked
by nineteenth-century English scholars. Farnell describes the cults
of the most significant Greek gods in order to establish their
zones of influence, and outlines the personality, monuments, and
ideal types associated with each deity. He also resolutely avoids
the question of divine origins and focuses instead on the culture
surrounding each cult, a position which initially drew some
criticism, but which allowed him more space to analyse the
religious practices themselves. Written to facilitate a comparative
approach to Greek gods, his work is still regularly cited today for
its impressive collection of data about the worship of the most
popular deities. Volume 1 covers the Aniconic age, the Iconic age,
and the cults of Cronos, Zeus, Hera and Athena.
