Underworld Gods in Ancient Greek Religion: Death and Reciprocity

By Ellie Mackin Roberts

Book Overview

This volume presents a case for how and why people in archaic and classical Greece worshipped Underworld gods. Mackin Roberts challenges the view that these gods are manevolent and shows that Underworld gods are, in many cases, approached and 'befriended' in the same way as any other kind of god.
