Was Ancient Greek religion really 'mere ritualism'? Early Christians denounced the pagans for the disorderly plurality of their cults, and reduced Greek religion to ritual and idolatry. This book argues that there was an important place for belief in Greek rituals, examining notions of inner purity and pollution as a manifestation of such belief.
