Table of ContentsReviewsThis book is one of a kind. Nickolas P. Roubekas successfully demonstrates how Greek and Roman religions have been historically studied in a one-sided manner. Consequently, he offers appealing and innovative discussions on how this could be amended, primarily by suggesting a more inter-disciplinary collaboration, which includes the findings of the cognitive science of religion. --Panayotis Pachis, Professor of Religious Studies, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece An interdisciplinary approach to the study of ancient religion is often invoked, but seldom seriously implemented. This book is a valuable reflection on the necessity to build real bridges between classics and religious studies, dwelling deeply on the recent history of both disciplines, their prejudices, and their self-limiting boundaries. Even those who do not share Roubekas' proposals will profit from his clear, thorough, and honest discussions of scholarship. --Miguel Herrero de Jauregui, Professor of Greek Philology, Complutense University of Madrid, Spain Author InformationNickolas P.
