Inhaltsangabe

The veteran, controversial but influential mythologist turns his distinctive interpretations on early Rome, with a glance at the neighboring Etruscans. After 140 pages of preliminary remarks, the first volume discusses the evidence and functions of the archaic triad and the theology of the Capitoline triad, the fires of public worship, frameworks, living and dead humans, and forces and elements. The second volume covers extensions and mutations, cults, and the Etruscans. It also contains the index for the serially paged set. Originally published as La Religion romaine archaique suivi d'un appendice sur la religion des Etrusques in 1966 by +ditions Payor in Paris, and here reprinted from the 1970 English edition by the University of Chicago Press. Paper edition (unseen), $18.95 per volume. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
