More about the book

Focusing on the life and works of Diagoras of Melos, the book reexamines his reputation as a radical atheist and critic of the Eleusinian Mysteries. It argues against the notion of him being an atheist by exploring his biography and the context of his beliefs, suggesting that his views differ significantly from contemporary understandings of atheism. The evaluation sheds light on his condemnation for impiety in Athens and provides a nuanced perspective on his contributions to ancient thought.
