From even before the time of Alexander the Great, the Greek gods
spread throughout the Mediterranean, carried by settlers and
largely adopted by the indigenous populations. By the third century
b.c., gods bearing Greek names were worshipped everywhere from
Spain to Afghanistan, with the resulting religious systems a
variable blend of Greek and indigenous elements. Greek Gods Abroad
examines the interaction between Greek religion and the cultures of
the eastern Mediterranean with which it came into contact. Robert
Parker shows how Greek conventions for naming gods were extended
and adapted and provides bold new insights into religious and
psychological values across the Mediterranean. The result is a rich
portrait of ancient polytheism as it was practiced over 600 years
of history.
