  74. The most comprehensive history of Greek religion, beginning with the Bronze Age. In addition to a systematic discussion of general religious phenomena (gods, festivals, sanctuaries), the main advantage of this book is that it studies the development of Greek religion from the earliest times to the Imperial period; naturally, new finds (most importantly the Linear B texts, which have changed our understanding of Mycenaean religion) and recent theoretical approaches have rendered some views obsolete or problematic, but this book remains indispensable.

  80. This study follows the development of the cult of Dionysos in Argolis from the Mycenaean period to Late Antiquity, with a focus on questions of continuity, myths, festivals, rituals, and mystic elements; valuable because it places the cult of Dionysos in specific geographical and historical contexts.

  83. The most famous mystery cult of the Greek world, connected with Demeter, Persephone, and Dionysos, may have originated as early as the Mycenaean period. This wide-ranging study of the cult in Eleusis is still readable and accessible to a general readership; some aspects need to revised on the basis of more recent studies, however.

Nine essays that attempt to explore common features in priesthoods, primarily in Republican Rome and the Roman Empire, but also in the Mycenaean kingdoms (James Hooker: “Cult-personnel in the Linear B Texts from Pylos”), Athens (Robert Garland, “Priests and power in Classical Athens”), and Ptolemaic Memphis (Dorothy J.

Mary Beard and John North haved edited the definitive work on pagan priests. Chapters 1 and 2 are fundamental—they are titled “Priesthoods in the Roman Republic” and “Diviners and Divination in Ancient Rome.” Three pieces by Richard Gordon on Roman imperial religion close the work: “From Republic to Principate: Priesthood, Religion and Ideology”; “The Veil of Power: Emperors, Sacrificers, and Benefactors”; and “Religion in the Roman Empire: The Civic Compromise and its Limits.” Classical Athens, Ptolemaic Memphis, the Babylonian priesthood, and Mycenaean Pylos each receive one chapter.

  136. Dumézil was never able to demonstrate fully his “tripartite ideology” in the Greek context. This is what Sergent tries to do by studying systematically Archaic Greek poetry up until the 5th-century tragedians, and comparing it with other domains of Indo-European culture. His conclusions are not uniformly convincing but do lead the specialist to rethink some basic assumptions about Archaic Greece. A second planned volume will cover the classical prose writers.

  176. A chronological and geographical survey of art and architecture of the Minoan, Mycenaean, and Cycladic cultures, intended for students and the general public, so that complex and problematic issues such as the scholarly dispute on the high or low chronology are only superficially mentioned. The approach is strictly “art historical,” with no attempt to embed Bronze Age art into anthropologically reconstructed social systems. The book complements rather than replaces Sinclair Hood’s The arts in prehistoric Greece (Harmondsworth: Penguin, 1978), which is structured according to categories of artistic expression and not chronologically or geographically.

  180. An indispensable handbook on Neolithic and Bronze Age pottery from Crete. Owing to the innumerable excavations on the island and the ongoing discussion on Bronze Age Aegean chronology, some of Betancourt’s suggestions have to be supplemented by more recent detailed studies of Minoan pottery and culture in general. However, the book remains an invaluable tool for both scholars and students. For Mycenaean pottery, see Penelope A. Mountjoy, Regional Mycenaean decorated pottery (Rahden: Leidorf, 1999).

  184. The first, and so far the only, handbook on Bronze Age wall painting in the Aegean (Mycenaean pictorial pottery and the Tanagra larnakes are also briefly discussed). Important issues are clearly presented, such as historical and geographical contexts, the techniques applied, the chronology and its problems, and the origins of wall painting. The main interest lies, however, in the careful analysis of the regional styles that can be identified as Minoan, Mycenaean, and Cycladic, and in the definition of similarities, discrepancies, and interdependencies among them.

  188. The most up-to-date introduction to ancient Greek painting and its later reception, especially in Renaissance and Baroque art. Chronologically, the study starts with Minoan and Mycenaean wall paintings and also discusses vase painting. Owing to the lack of material evidence, the chapters on individual Greek painters are based on literary sources. In this context, the “re-creation” of Greek paintings by artists such as Penni, van Winghe, Vleughels, or Tiepolo becomes perhaps the most important part of the book. However, the volume’s approach to Roman art and to its relation to Greek art is judgmental and thus problematic.

  193. The expanded edition of the 1970 original, and the most authoritative introduction to the study of gems and finger rings from the Minoan-Mycenaean to the Late Classical period. Despite its title, an all too brief chapter is dedicated to the evidence from the Hellenistic and early Imperial periods. An additional chapter written for the new edition summarizes the study of gems and finger rings between 1970 and 2000 and is accompanied by a catalogue as well as illustrations of sixty objects. It is perhaps unfortunate that the new expanded edition did not grasp the opportunity to discuss the Hellenistic period more intensively, but this does not lessen the value of this monumental work.
