(“Homer and Hesiod created the generations of the gods for...)
“Homer and Hesiod created the generations of the gods for the Greeks; they gave the divinities their names, assigned to them their prerogatives and functions, and made their forms known.” So Herodotus describes the service of these poets to the centuries which followed them. But the modern historian of Greek religion cannot accept the statement of the father of history as wholly satisfactory; he knows that the excavations of the last forty years have revealed to us civilizations of the third and second millenia before Christ, the Minoan and Mycenaean cultures, of which the historical Greeks were hardly conscious, but which nevertheless made large contributions to religion in the period after Homer. Yet at the most the Mycenaean and Minoan Ages were for the Greek of the sixth and fifth centuries only a kind of dim background for the remote history of his race. The Homeric poems represented for him the earliest stage of Hellenic social life and religion. We are justified, then, in taking the Iliad and Odyssey as starting points in our present considerations. These matchless epics cast an ineffable spell over the imaginations of the Greeks themselves and influenced religion hardly less than literature. It is obvious that in this course of lectures we cannot consider together all the multitudinous phases of Greek religion: it will be impossible to discuss those large primitive elements in the practices and beliefs of the ancient Greek folk which are so attractive to many students of religion today, for these things were, by and large, only survivals from a ruder past and did not contribute to the religious progress from age to age; nor can we rehearse the details of worship, or review all the varieties of religious belief which we find in different places and in successive centuries; still less can we concern ourselves with mythology. Alluring as these things are they do not concern our present purpose. I shall invite you rather to trace with me the development of Greek religious thought through something over a thousand years, from the period of the Homeric poems to the triumph of Christianity. In such a survey we must be occupied for the most part with the larger movements and the higher ranges of Greek thought, with the advance which was made from century to century; and we shall try to see how each stage of religious development came to fruition in the next period. To accomplish this purpose we must take into due account the social, economic, and political changes in the Greek world which influenced the course of Hellenic thinking. Ultimately, if our study is successful, we shall have discovered in some measure, I trust, what permanent contributions the Greeks made to our own religious ideas. With these things in mind, therefore, let us return to the Homeric Poems. Whatever the date at which the Iliad and the Odyssey received their final form, the common view that they belong to a period somewhere between 850 and 700 b.c. is substantially correct. They represent the culmination of a long period of poetic development and picture so to speak on one canvas scenes and deeds from many centuries. Yet the composite life is wrought by poetic art into one splendid whole, so that the ordinary reader, in antiquity as today, was unconscious of the variety and contradictions in the poems; only the analytic mind of the scholar detects the traces of the varied materials which the epic poet made his own. It is important that we should realize the fact that the Homeric poems made the impression of a consistent unity upon the popular mind in antiquity, for the influence of these epics through the recitations of rhapsodes at great public festivals and through their use in school was enormous. The statement of Herodotus, with which I began, was very largely true. These poems were composed to be recited at the courts of princes in Ionia for the entertainment of the nobles at the banquet or after the feast was over.

Clifford Herschel Moore was born on March 11, 1866, in Sudbury, Massachusetts, where his ancestors had lived since the earliest settlement of the town. His parents were John Herschel and Julia Ann (McCullough) Moore.
Moore studied at the public school in Sudbury and the Framingham High School. Graduating from Harvard College in 1889, he immediately assumed duties as a classical master in the Belmont School for Boys, Belmont, California. Receiving leave of absence, he went to the University of Munich, and in 1897, received there the degree of Ph. D.
In 1892, Moore succeeded E. G. Coy as professor of Greek at Phillips Academy, Andover, Massachusetts, and later (1902) became a member of its board of trustees. When (July 9, 1892) the National EducationAssociation appointed the Committee of Ten, headed by President Eliot, to examine the state of secondary education in the United States, Moore's ability as a leader and counselor caused him to be chosen as one of the sub-committee which reported on the study of Greek. In 1894, he was appointed instructor in Latin at the University of Chicago, where he was soon promoted to an assistant professorship, which he held until 1898.
In 1898, he accepted President Eliot's invitation to return to Harvard as assistant professor of Greek and Latin. In 1900, he issued a revision of Frederic De Forest Allen's Medea of Euripides, in 1902, an edition of The Odes, Epodes, and Carmen Saeculare of Horace, and in 1906 Elements of Latin. He contributed articles to various scientific periodicals and to the New International Encyclopaedia. Advanced to the professorship of Latin in 1905, he served that year at the American School of Classical Studies in Rome, Italy. In 1913, he was Harvard Exchange professor with Western colleges. In 1925, he was elected to the Pope Professorship of Latin at Harvard. In this year, appeared the first volume of his Histories of Tacitus (Loeb Classical Library), followed in 1931 by the second.
Combining interest in the more rigorous disciplines of Latin grammar and epigraphy with a wide knowledge of literature and philosophy, he made the religions of Greece and Rome the special field of his research at Harvard and the subject of his course before the Lowell Institute in Boston (1914). The substance of these lectures is embodied in The Religious Thought of the Greeks, from Homer to the Triumph of Christianity (1916, 1925), an admirable discussion of Hellenic ideas concerning the gods and the relations and obligations of men toward them. As president of the American Philological Association (1920), he delivered a notable address on "Prophecy in the Ancient Epic". In 1918, he gave at Harvard the Ingersoll Lecture on the immortality of man. His latest work, completed just before his death, was Ancient Beliefs in the Immortality of the Soul (1931).

Moore's wide acquaintance in other colleges at home and abroad, with the hospitable welcome which he and his wife extended to all, made his house in Cambridge the congenial resort of old and young alike. Though he often suffered from ill health, he was fond of outdoor sports.
His teaching was lucid and incisive, lighted with humor and apt illustration; his intellectual and moral standards were high.
On July 23, 1890, Moore married Lorena Leadbetter of Charlestown, Massachusetts.
