From the Back Cover:
"This thoughtful and illuminating book deals with a very important set of topics in Greek literature and thought: What is the real role of the Gods? How important are they, and how seriously are they meant to be taken? And is it all, in some sense, true?"-Jasper Griffin, Oxford University
