The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book:
Scope of the Book. - The present sketch does not aim at any complete survey, however brief, of the facts of Greek religion ;it is not a handbook. Still less does it aim at setting down in an elementary form the rudiments of the subject; it is not a primer. Rather it is, in the Greek sense, a historia - an inquiry into the nature of Greek religion; an attempt to see whence it came and whither it tended; how it resembles and how it differs from other religions. Especially its object is to ask and, if it may be, to answer the question: "What in Greek religion is characteristically Greek?"
Two Factors in Religion: Ritual and Mythology. - Every religion contains two elements.
