Reviews

?Kearn's superb sourcebook makes it possible, for the first time, for students in a convenient, well-informed, and systematic way to engage directly with over 200 primary texts central to the study of Greek religion.? Jon D. Mikalson, University of Virginia ?This is much more than the long-overdue, up-to-date sourcebook on Greek religion; researchers too will find the innovative choice of texts, documents and images and the thoughtful commentary extremely rewarding.? Barbara Kowalzig, Royal Holloway, University of London
