""Studies in Primitive Greek Religion"" is a book written by Rafael Karsten and originally published in 1907. The book explores the religious practices and beliefs of ancient Greek civilization, focusing on the period prior to the classical era. The author examines the role of gods and goddesses in Greek mythology, as well as the importance of rituals, sacrifices, and festivals in religious life. Karsten also discusses the concept of animism, the belief that all natural objects and phenomena possess a spirit or soul, which was a central tenet of primitive Greek religion. The book draws on a variety of sources, including ancient texts, archaeological findings, and ethnographic studies, to provide a comprehensive and insightful analysis of this fascinating subject. Overall, ""Studies in Primitive Greek Religion"" offers a valuable contribution to the study of ancient Greek culture and religion, and remains an important work in the field to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
