Description: A church history study guide on ancient Greek Religion.
Theology WebSite: Church History Study Helps: Ancient Greek Religion Homer lies at the foundation of the Greek tradition, and his prominence in the educational curriculum until the end of antiquity means that he is fundamental for Greek religious thought in the Hellenistic and Roman periods. The "Iliad" and the "odyssey" originated in the traditional ballad literature of the heroic age recited for entertainment. The Iliad is the story of the Trojan war: between the Greeks (under Agememnon, king of Mycenae) and the city of troy; the Odyssey relates the adventures of one of the heroes on his return from the war. The Homeric poems are a deliberate attempt to reproduce conditions of about 1200 BC at the final stage of Mycenaen civilization just before the Dorian invasions brought the interruption of a "dark age" to Greek cultural development. Homer himself may be dated somewhere around 800 BC. He marks the new intellectual beginnings that led to classical Greece.
