Opis

This study presents a comprehensive treatment of a crucial aspect of Greek religion hitherto largely neglected in the English language. Pulleyn draws on all of the relevant literary and epigraphic material available in order both to describe ancient Greek practices and to explain their significance.

Recenzje

The book's value lies in its careful analysis of the various forms of prayer and its explication of how the principle of reciprocity applies in each ... An insightful work that can be appreciated by nonspecialists.
