"The nineteenth century is a key period in the history of the interpretation of the
Greek gods. 'The Greek Gods in Modern Scholarship' examines how German and British
scholars of the time drew on philology, archaeology, comparative mythology, anthropology,
or sociology to advance radically different theories on the Greek gods and their origins.
For some, they had been personifications of natural elements, for others, they had
begun as universal gods like the Christian god, yet for others, they went back to
totems or were projections of group unity. The volume discusses the views of both
well-known figures like K.O. Muller (1797-1840), or Jane Harrison (1850-1928), and
of forgotten, but important, scholars like F.G. Welcker (1784-1868). It explores the
underlying assumptions and agendas of the rival theories in the light of their intellectual
and cultural context, laying stress on how they were connected to broader contemporary
debates over fundamental questions such as the origins and nature of religion, or
the relation between Western culture and the 'Orient'.0It also considers the impact
of theories from this period on twentieth- and twenty-first-century scholarship on
Greek religion and draws implications for the study of the Greek gods today."--Publisher's
