CLCS 386: Ancient Greek Religion
Dr. Keith Dickson
A study of the religious beliefs and practices of the ancient Greeks. We will learn how they understood, represented, and related to their gods. We will see how they legitimized their world in terms of a transcendent order. We will ask if their use of the sacred influences modern Western religious behavior.
