Josh Anderson’s Reviews > Five Stages of Greek Religion > Status Update

I don't need to read the translation of Sallustius to rate this five stars, although I'm not putting it off. Beautifully articulated by Murray, these five essays remind me a bit of the book I just read by Walter Pater on The Renaissance, if you could substitute Renaissance art & philosophy for Greek religion. This is essential reading for understanding what part the gods played in the lives of the ancient Greeks.
