Review
Jon Mikalson's book will surely prove an invaluable resource for any student working in the area of Herodotus, Greek religion, or the Persian War period. Rigorous in the standards it applies to the study of this complex subject, it makes a fine addition to the oeuvre of a leading exponent of Greek religion.(Robert Garland, Colgate University) -- Review
Review
"The complexity of the subject matter . . . result[s] in more than a case-in-point study of Greek Religion as practiced in context. . . . Written in Mikalson's usually lucid, lively, and unassuming style. . . . The implications of the author's approach are significant and are not confined to the study of Herodotus."
— International Journal of Classical Tradition
"Will surely prove an invaluable resource for any student working in the area of Herodotus, Greek religion, or the Persian War period."
