The work compiles eight lectures that explore the evolution of Greek religious thought over a span of more than a thousand years. The focus lies on the Greeks' concepts regarding the deities, human obligations toward them, and the philosophical implications of their beliefs, culminating in the rise of Christianity. At the start of the lectures, Moore sets the groundwork by discussing the significance of the Homeric epics, notably the "Iliad" and "Odyssey," in shaping Greek religious identity. He outlines how these works not only served as entertainment but also played a crucial role in defining the characteristics and attributes of the gods in the early Greek religion. The author emphasizes the human-like qualities of the divine figures depicted in Homer, illustrating how they reflect both the virtues and flaws of humanity, while simultaneously acknowledging the limited power of the gods compared to fate and moral law. This introductory portion ultimately aims to establish a framework for further exploration of Greek religious thought as it transitions into new philosophical territories, including the introduction of Christianity.
