Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring the worship of Underworld gods in archaic and classical Greece, the author challenges the perception of these deities as malevolent figures. Instead, the book argues that they were often approached with reverence and friendship, similar to other gods. This perspective sheds light on the complexities of ancient Greek religious practices and the nuanced relationships between worshippers and their deities.
