Book Synopsis Singing for the Gods by : Barbara Kowalzig
Book excerpt: A new approach to an old question - the relationship between myth and ritual. Barbara Kowalzig shows how choral performances of myth and ritual, taking place all over the ancient Greek world in the early 5th century BC, helped to effect social and political change in their own time.
