This volume assembles fourteen highly influential articles written by Michael H. Jameson over a period of nearly fifty years, edited and updated by the author himself. They represent both the scope and the signature style of Jameson's engagement with the subject of ancient Greek religion. The collection complements the original publications in two ways: firstly, it makes the articles more accessible; and secondly, the volume offers readers a unique opportunity to observe that over almost five decades of scholarship Jameson developed a distinctive method, a signature style, a particular perspective, a way of looking that could perhaps be fittingly called a 'Jamesonian approach' to the study of Greek religion. This approach, recognizable in each article individually, becomes unmistakable through the concentration of papers collected here. The particulars of the Jamesonian approach are insightfully discussed in the five introductory essays written for this volume by leading world authorities on polis religion.

Works by authors such as Philitas of Cos, Alexander of Aetolia, Hermesianax of Colophon, Euphorion of Chalcis and, especially Parthenius of Nicaea, who composed the mythograpical Sufferings in Love, represent rich inventiveness in Hellenistic prose and poetry from the fourth to the first century BCE.

"Arrien et Oppien ont chacun écrit une Cynégétique, c'est-à-dire un ouvrage sur la chasse au moyen des chiens, l'un en prose, l'autre en vers. Ces deux auteurs suivent une tradition, inaugurée par Xénophon d'Athènes, qui vise à vanter les bienfaits de la chasse et à en exalter les vertus aristocratiques. Les Grecs de l'Antiquité qui associaient les chasses mythiques au mode de vie de leurs ancêtres, s’étaient construit un univers, où les images reliées à chasse faisaient office de code, un code qu’exploitent Arrien et Oppien.Malgré ce but commun, les deux œuvres diffèrent considérablement. Chez Oppien, l’animal est toujours dangereux, souvent étrange et même monstrueux ; le chasseur est un explorateur courageux qui fréquente des contrées où nul ne voudrait s’aventurer sans armes. Arrien est un stoïcien pour qui la chasse n’élève l’esprit que si elle est dénuée de cruauté ; l’animal sauvage est un adversaire que l’on doit respecter et même protéger.Au-delà de la chasse, chaque œuvre nous offre une perspective fascinante sur la perception du monde naturel propre à son auteur et au monde ancien."--
