E.M. Berens' work on Greek and Roman mythology offers a captivating exploration of the religious beliefs held by the ancients. With a clear and concise approach, this book succeeds in making the subject both engaging and informative.
Berens skillfully presents a vivid portrayal of the deities of classical times as envisioned and revered by the ancients themselves. This depiction ignites a desire in readers to delve deeper into the study of classical antiquity, fostering a greater understanding of ancient Greek life, customs, superstitions, and generous hospitality.
Each chapter delves into intriguing details gathered about the public worship of the ancient Greeks and Romans, particularly focusing on the former. Additionally, the book provides an account of their principal festivals, enriching the reader's knowledge of these ancient civilizations.
For those who appreciate Classic Masterworks, the significance of studying ancient mythology hardly needs emphasizing. Classical allusions abound in our poems, novels, and even television programs. Moreover, a visit to art galleries and museums is incomplete without a more profound understanding of a subject that has consistently inspired painters, sculptors, and poets throughout the ages.
We are confident that Berens' work will prove valuable not only to teachers and scholars but also to a broad range of general viewers.
