Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Jane Harrison examines the festivals of ancient Greek religion
to identify the primitive "substratum" of ritual and its
persistence in the realm of classical religious observance and
literature. In Harrison's preface to this remarkable book, she
writes that J. G. Frazer's work had become part and parcel of her
"mental furniture" and that of others studying primitive religion.
Today, those who write on ancient myth or ritual are bound to say
the same about Harrison. Her essential ideas, best developed and
most clearly put in the Prolegomena, have never been eclipsed.
Originally published in 1921, this book was written by Jane Ellen
Harrison (1850-1928). A pioneering British classical scholar and
linguist, she was also prominent in the development of the early
feminist movement. The text summarises the results of Harrison's
work on the origins of Greek religion and indicates the bearing of
these results on modern religious questions. It is divided into
three main sections: 'Primitive ritual', Primitive theology', and
'The religion of to-day'. Notes are incorporated throughout. This
book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the works of
Harrison, anthropology and Ancient Greece.
