Sinopsis

2019 Reprint of 1925 Paul, Trench, Trubner Edition. Two Volumes Bound into one.á Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition software.á &ldquo,This book offers an account of the opinions held by the Greeks about the life of the human soul after death and is thus intended as a contribution to the history of Greek religion. Such an undertaking has in a special measure to contend with the difficulties that face any inquiry into the religious life and thought of the Greeks. Greek religion was a natural growth, not a special foundation, and the ideas and feelings which gave it its inward tone and outward shape never received abstract formulation. It expressed itself in religious performances alone: it had no sacred books from which we might determine the inward meaning and interconnexion of the ideas with which the Greeks approached the gods created by their faith.&rdquo,&mdash,From the introduction.á Psyche remains a standard reference work for Greek cult practices and beliefs related to the soul.á Translated from the eighth edition by W.B. Hillis.
