Reviews

'A fine addition to Cambridge University Press's Key Themes in Ancient History series, Price's intensive and authoritative survey will go straight to the top of the reading lists.' The Times Literary Supplement ' ... the only brief, up-to-date treatment of Greek religion from a sociological viewpoint widespread in the United States and England, and thus broadens a literature dominated by Continental scholars with different agenda.' Bryn Mawr Classical Review
