TAILIEUCHUNG - RELIGION AND ART IN ANCIENT GREECE

Greek religion may be studied under various aspects; and many recent contributions to this study have been mainly concerned either with the remote origin of many of its ceremonies in primitive ritual, or with the manner in which some of its obscurer manifestations met the deeper spiritual needs which did not find satisfaction in the official cults. Such discussions are of the highest interest to the anthropologist and to the psychologist; but they have the disadvantage of fixing our attention too exclusively on what, to the ordinary Greek, appeared accidental or even morbid, and of making us regard the. | RELIGION AND ART IN ANCIENT GREECE BY ERNEST A. GARDNER YATES PROFESSOR OF ARCHAEOLOGY AND PUBLIC ORATOR IN THE UNIVERSITY OF LONDON LATE DIRECTOR OF THE BRITISH SCHOOL AT ATHENS LONDON AND NEW YORK HARPER BROTHERS 45 ALBEMARLE STREET W. 1910 PREFACE Greek religion may be studied under various aspects and many recent contributions to this study have been mainly concerned either with the remote origin of many of its ceremonies in primitive ritual or with the manner in which some of its obscurer manifestations met the deeper spiritual needs which did not find satisfaction in the official cults.

In the province of art at least the Olympian gods are paramount and thus we are led to appreciate and to understand their worship as it affected the religious ideals of the people and the services of the State. For we must remember that in the case of religion even more than in that of art its essential character and its influence upon life and thought lie rather in its full perfection than in its origin. In a short sketch of so wide a subject it has seemed inadvisable to make any attempt to describe the types of the various gods. Without full illustration and a considerable expenditure of space such a description would be impracticable and the reader must be referred to the ordinary handbooks of the subject. A fuller account will be found in Dr. Farnell s Cults of the Greek States and some selected types are discussed with the greatest subtlety and understanding in Brunn s Griechische Gotterideale.
