Gods & Goddesses in the daily life of the ancient Greeks - Fiona Macdonald

Why did Greek women pray to the goddess Artemis before their wedding? How did the god Dionysus create the ancient Greek love of theatre? How did Zeus, King of the Gods, punish those who broke the law?

Every aspect of ancient life is explored by looking at the traditions and religious beliefs associated with it. The book reveals how such beliefs were an integral part of life and how they affected everything that was done.

Complete with glossary, index, photography and illustrations.
