Description
 
...begins by describing the background of primitive and bloody rites that may still be dimly perceived through the clear surface of the Greek myths;
  • continues with the classic religion of the Olympian gods (which to most people is all of Greek religion); describes the religion of the philosophic schools of the fourth century B.C.; and
  • then, in a classic chapter on The Failure of Nerve, portrays the breakdown of rational Greek religion under the impact of the religions of the East:
  • out of the clash was to arise Christianity.
  • A last chapter describes the effort of Julian the Apostate to restore a purified and sophisticated paganism.
CONDITION: Softcover, vintage Doubleday anchor book, 221 pages including index, light wear to cover, clean within
