Description
Gilbert Murray, one of the century's most important scholars of Greek history and culture, illustrates the ancient's continuing relevance to modern thought with absorbing accounts of the many theological trends of ancient Greece. Starting with a background in the culture's earliest and most primitive rites, the text traces the development of the classic religion of the Olympian gods and discusses the religion of the philosophic schools of the fourth century b.c. It portrays the emergence of Christianity as a product of the clash between Greek and Eastern religions and concludes with an account of the efforts of Julian the Apostate to restore a new variety of paganism. Unabridged republication of the work published by Doubleday & Company, Inc., Garden City, New York, 1955. Appendix. Index.
