О книге

Excerpt from The Elements of Greek Worship

This little book is designed as a guide to the spirit rather than to the letter of Greek religion. I have endeavoured to present, in language as simple as possible, the universal principles which underlay its inception and development; to indicate the racial sources from which its component parts were drawn; and to show that the observances and beliefs which constituted its worship and creed were the natural reflection of the highly composite national temperament of classical Greece.

Restrictions imposed by the narrow limits of a handbook, intended to supply the wants of students of Greek civilization to whom time and expense are a consideration, have precluded the discussion at length of many points of interest, and have rendered necessary the omission of all controversy, although I am well aware that some of the opinions advanced are regarded as heretical by many arch?ologists.
