[Jared Saltz · Rating 4 out of 5]

An excellent source-book for information on the widespread thoughts about Greek religion coming from primary sources. The volume is arranged into various tops from the Olympians, Heroes, Public and Private Religion, Mystery Cults, and Death and Afterlife. It could use a wider selection of texts (most come from literary works), or included more information from Greek religions interaction with other religions or vice versa, but I understand why these choices were made.
