Since its initial publication in 1979, Sources for the Study of
Greek Religion has become an essential classroom resource in the
field of classical studies. The Society of Biblical Literature is
pleased to present a corrected edition in a new, attractive, and
electronic-friendly format with hopes that it will inspire a new
generation of classicists and religious historians. This volume
includes primary texts and documents in translation, illustrating
the range of Greek religious beliefs and practices from Homer to
Alexander the Great with the addition of relevant post-classical
material. The sources are arranged in chapters devoted to the
Olympian gods, heroes, public religion (including rural cults),
private religion, mystery cults, and death and afterlife.
Introductory notes place the selections in their context in Greek
history and provide basic bibliography. The volume includes a
glossary of technical terms, a general index, and an index of
ancient sources cited. Beyond the correction of minor errors and
use of footnotes rather than endnotes, the reader will find that
the present volume remains true to the original.
