It differs from `Histories of Greek Religion' by focusing on a particular Greek city with particular social structures. It treats a much broader range of phenomena than do books on `Athenian festivals'. It seeks to bridge the gap that usually divides studies of Greek religion from studies of Greek history and society. Among the topics discussed are theactual dates and circumstances of foundation of many temples, festivals, and cults at Athens, the historical development of the social structures within which religious activities took place, and the effects in the religious sphere of the radical shift in Athens' political life from tyranny to democracyand the acquisition of an empire. Robert Parker investigates the relation between religion and political prestige, considers the introduction of new cults, and looks in detail at such key personalities and events in the religious history of Athens as Lycurgus the Eteoboutad and his religious policies, and the trial of Socrates. The period covered is roughly that from 750 to 250 BC., Neu, Festpreisangebot, [LT: FixedPrice], Book Title: Athenian Religion: A History, EAN: 9780198152408, Publication Year: 1997, Type: Textbook, Language: English, Publication Name: Athenian Religion: a History, Item Height: 234mm, Item Width: 157mm, Subject: History, Item Weight: 617g, Number of Pages: 396 Pages, Oxford University Press<
