A Handbook of Greek Religion of Edited Greek Religion (Classic Reprint)
(Excerpt from A Handbook of Greek Religion of Edited Greek...)
Excerpt from A Handbook of Greek Religion of Edited Greek Religion Although the mythology of Greece is a familiar subject, and Greek religious antiquities have long been studied, Greek religion, as such, is a comparatively unknown field. In the present volume, religious antiquities, forms of revelation, and worship and belief are discussed in Part I. from the standpoint of their religious significance. It may be that readers who are more interested in the content than in the form of Greek religion will pass from the Introduction directly to Parts II and III, but Part I has been left in its logical place. Greek mythology, on the other hand, finds no place in the discussion. If too much emphasis has been laid on the difference between mythology and religion, it may be regarded as a natural reaction from the usual identification of two quite different interests of the Greek mind. For various reasons Greek religion is not, like Greek mythology, an easy subject to handle. There is one mythology, or at least a tendency to one mythology, as over against many almost unrelated forms of worship. Moreover, mythology lent itself to literary treatment, while many of the data for Greek religion come in fragmentary form from late authors. As to other sources, inscriptions are very important, but they deal only with detail; while archaeological remains are often difficult to interpret. Although no complete picture is possible, it is hoped that this presentation of the subject will give a point of view which will be helpful in understanding Greek authors as well as in determining the contribution of Greece to the religious conceptions and forces of the later world.

Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works.

This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue.

We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

The Mythology of Greece and Rome, Presented With Special Reference to Its Influence on Literature (Classic Reprint)
(For more than two thousand years Greek Mythology has been...)
For more than two thousand years Greek Mythology has been the subject of systematic treatises, but even so old and familiar a subject may demand an occasional restatement, either to meet the needs of a new generation of readers, or to incorporate the results of further investigation. During the last twenty years Roscher sL exikon der griechischen und rbmischen Mythologie has been appearing slowly, and with articles more and more carefully written; many important articles on mythological subjects are found in the earlier volumes of Pauly-W issowa, Realencyclopddie der klaasischen A ltertumavnssenschaft; and the first volume of the new edition of Preller sG rieehische Mythologie prepared by Robert, has been published. To this last volume, which should be the basis for all future work in this line, I wish to express my special indebtedness. The nature of the present book has prevented me from acknowledging in detail the suggestions I have received from these and other recent contributions to the subject. In general the influence of more of less recent investigations will be found (1) in the point of view outlined in the I ntroduction, (2) in the increased attention to the nature of each god as it appears in myth, and (3) in the systematic use of the remains of ancient art to interpret mythology. (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.) About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology. Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings. Careful attention has been made to accurately preserve the original format of each page whilst digitally enhancing the aged text.
