Subject: A Companion to Greek Religion covers all aspects of religion in the ancient Greek world from the archaic, through the classical and into the Hellenistic period. Each of the volumersquo;s 29 essays is written by an international expert and provides a survey of a particular area that reflects contemporary scholarship. All the contributions place an emphasis on religious life as it was experienced by Greek men and women at different times and in different places. Myth is considered alongside religion throughout. The Companion opens with a series of contextual essays devoted to the Near-Eastern and Minoan backgrounds to Greek religion, the religious structures of Greek society, women and sex in religious life, and mystery cults and magic. There follow major sections on local religious systems, sacred space and ritual, and the divine. Other chapters consider the interactions between religion and art, literature and philosophy, and look at particular topics, such as time in Greek religion, whether the Greeks can be said to have had religious wars, and representations of Greek religion in cinema. https://www.amazon.com/Companion-Religion-Blackwell-Companions-Ancient-dp-1405120541/dp/1405120541/ref=mt_hardcover?_encoding=UTF8&me=&qid=1585945460
