Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cults of the Greek States, Vol. 5 of 5 I feel, what every reader must, I fear, also feel, that a work of this length, so preoccupied with detail, ought to be concluded and clarified by a succinct summary of the main features and general phenomena of Greek polytheism; and it was my intention to have added one. But I was obliged to relinquish it, as the last volume has come to be disproportionately long. But I can refer the reader to my general article on Greek Religion' in the new edition of the Times' Encyclo pam'ia, and to my published Inaugural Lecture which I delivered in the earlier part of this year as Wilde Lecturer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lewis Richard Farnell's five-volume The Cults of the Greek States, first published between 1896 and 1909, disentangles classical Greek mythology and religion, since the latter had often been overlooked by nineteenth-century English scholars. Farnell describes the cults of the most significant Greek gods in order to establish their zones of influence, and outlines the personality, monuments, and ideal types associated with each deity. He also resolutely avoids the question of divine origins and focuses instead on the culture surrounding each cult, a position which initially drew some criticism, but which allowed him more space to analyse the religious practices themselves. Written to facilitate a comparative approach to Greek gods, his work is still regularly cited today for its impressive collection of data about the worship of the most popular deities. Volume 4 focuses on the cults of Poseidon and Apollo.

This book was released on 2017-10-15 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Go back in time to experience Greek religious practices with Zeus, Athena, Hera and other gods in The Cults of the Greek States, Vol. I, as this book is a survey of the most important texts and monuments of Greek mythology. The book is divided into eleven chapters: the Anionic Age, the Iconic Age, Cronos, Zeus, the Cult Monuments of Zeus, the Ideal Types of Zeus, Hera, the Cult Monuments of Hera, the Ideal Hera, Athena, and the Monuments of Athena Worship. The Cults of the Greek States, Vol. I starts with Aniconism, which is the absence of icons or objects of religious veneration. Historians cannot pinpoint the precise time when icons began to appear in Greek religion as objects of veneration, however, Farnell identifies early idols and the deity represented by each one. He then moves on to Cronos, thought to be the forerunner of Zeus. Farnell discusses the different theories of Cronos, including the idea that he is the Phoenician god Moloch. Farnell uncovers some religious rituals representing Zeus that were previously unknown, including his sole appearance as an oracle (at Dondonea), as well as human sacrifices to Zeus by the Arcadians. Zeus had a political significance not shared by other Hellenic deities and was also not seen in images or iconography for much longer than other deities. There are photographs and sketches of the ideal image of Zeus that help illustrate these points in the text. Farnell explains that worship of Hera has been separated from the original inspiration for it, making the symbolism behind Hera-worship harder to define. This explains why even in modern times Hera's mythology does not completely line up with her worship. The illustrations of Hera are excellent and help the reader draw his or her own conclusions. Unlike her counterparts, Athena appears to have no non-Hellenic forebears, leading to the conclusion that she is a wholly Greek creation. Farnell rejects the idea that Athena is associated with any of the natural elements. Instead she is said to be the representation of the city of Athens. Athena is the city-goddess, associated with ideas like wisdom, art and law. Although the book's tone is scholarly, it is easy to understand and presents its analysis in an engaging way. The Cults of the Greek States, Vol. I is a very readable book that will be of interest to anyone who studies mythology, art, Greeks, history or antiquity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cults of the Greek States, Vol. 5 of 5 With the publication of this volume the self-imposed task that has occupied my intervals of leisure throughout twenty years is at last completed. But the fulfilment of the promise of the title is incomplete; for it has happened, according to the anticipation expressed in the preface to my third volume, that no room could be found for a full account of hero-worship and the cults of the dead and of the various ideas thereto attaching. I hope to be able subsequently to publish in a different setting the various materials I have gathered under this head and the conclusions that I have drawn from them. Apart from this omission, a work of the present compass, carried on through so long a period of one's life, is scarcely likely in its final form to satisfy either the writer or his readers. I may hope, however, to have shown myself amenable to the influence of all criticism that was meant to be helpful, and of the newer theories that in recent years have presented the problems of ancient religion in a new light. Though it has absorbed more time than I had supposed it would demand, I rejoice to have chosen and pursued this theme, for I at least, if no one else, have derived from it both mental profit and pleasure.
