A Companion to Greek Religion

"The organization of this useful volume invites dipping into rather than a linear perusal. The contributors ... manage to be both informative and fair in their presentation of controversial issues, and blessedly jargon free." ( Religious Studies Review , December 2009)
"This collection of essays is a welcome addition to the existing books on Greek religion. Both advanced students and scholars will find it a useful introduction to the state of research on the subject." ( Acta Classica , 2009)

"A splendid book at a not unreasonable price." ( Reference Reviews , 2008)

"Modestly aiming to offer a mere impression of such a vast field, and eschewing any specific intellectual agenda, Daniel Ogden has done an excellent job both in defining major topics for discussion and in commissioning a varied list of contributors, senior and junior, European and North American, classicists, archaeologists, and historians of religion. ... Ogden has done in excellent job." ( Greece and Rome , 2008)

"The Companion to Greek Religion is overall an excellent package of the best and most interesting research in Greek religion." ( Scholia Reviews, 2008)
