Synopsis

To approach the religious worlds of ancient Greece and Rome is to enter a landscape where the boundaries between the natural and the supernatural were not merely porous but fundamentally intertwined. The people of the ancient Mediterranean inhabited a cosmos alive with divine presence, where gods shaped the rhythms of civic life, spirits animated the natural world, and unseen forces influenced health, fortune, and destiny. Religion was not a separate sphere of existence, cordoned off from politics, family, or daily labor. It was the connective tissue of society, a framework through which individuals and communities understood their place in the universe and negotiated their relationships with powers greater than themselves. This book begins from the premise that to understand ancient Mediterranean cultures, one must understand the religious and supernatural assumptions that structured their world.
