More about the book

Focusing on the religious life of ancient Athens, this book offers a comprehensive exploration of the city's festivals, household cults, and the public role of religious practices. It examines the authority of priests and religious professionals, the significance of magic, and the impact of theatrical representations on public perceptions of the divine. A detailed analysis of the various gods' spheres of influence positions Athens as a unique case study for understanding polytheism, complementing the author's previous work on Athenian religion.
