Jon D. Mikalson provides a chronological approach to religion in Hellenistic Athens, disproving the widely held belief that Hellenistic religion during this period represented a decline from the classical era. Drawing from epigraphical, historical, literary, and archaeological sources, Mikalson traces the religious cults and beliefs of Athenians from the battle of Chaeroneia in 338 B.C. to the devastation of Athens by Sulla in 86 B.C., demonstrating that traditional religion played a central and vital role in Athenian private, social, and political life. Mikalson describes the private and public religious practices of Athenians during this period, emphasizing the role these practices played in the life of the citizens and providing a careful scruntiny of individual cults. He concludes his study by using his findings from Athens to call into question several commonly held assumptions about the general development of religion in Hellenistic Greece. 410 0$aHellenistic culture and society ;$v29. 606 $aHellenism 607 $aAthens (Greece)$xReligion 615 0$aHellenism. 676 $a292/.00938/5 700 $aMikalson$b Jon D.$f1943-$0169405 712 02$aCalifornia Digital Library.$beScholarship. 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bUKM 801 2$bHCH 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910496141403321 996 $aReligion in hellenistic Athens$9699042 997 $aUNINA
