Sommario/riassunto

Le polythéisme grec n’est pas une simple juxtaposition de divinités, mais il est fait de leurs interactions à différentes échelles – locale, régionale, panhellénique.

La religion grecque étant profondément imbriquée dans des domaines où nous ne l’attendons pas, la convoquer permet d’enrichir la compréhension du monde grec antique.
