"Tantalizingly rich ...this is a splendid book."--Greece and Rome
"Burken relegates his learned documentation to the notes and writes
in a lively and fluent style. The book is recommended as a major
contribution to the interpretation of ancient Greek myth and
ritual. The breadth alone of Burkert's learning renders his book
indispensable."--Classical Outlook "Impressive...founded on a
striking knowledge of the complex evidence (literary, epigraphical,
archaeological, comparative) for this extensive subject. Burkert
offers a rare combination of exact scholarship with imagination and
even humor. A brilliant book, in which ...the reader can see at
every point what is going on in the author's mind--and that is
never uninteresting, and rarely unimportant."--Times Literary
Supplement "Burkert's work is of such magnitude and depth that it
may even contribute to that most difficult of tasks, defining myth,
ritual, and religion. . [He] locates his work in the context of
culture and the historv of ideas, and he is not hesitant to draw on
sociology and biology. Consequently his work is of significance for
philosophers, historians, and even theologians, as well as for
classicists and historians of Greek culture. His hypotheses are
courageous and his conclusions are bold; both establish standards
for methodology as well as results. "--Religious Studies Review
