“Religion” is a fairly modern concept, yet, we often think of the ancient world in religious terms. As a general introduction to the academic study of ancient religions, this new course examines how scholars define “ancient religion” and then describe ancient cultures (from Greece to Rome, Egypt, & Mesopotamia). The course therefore focuses on the problem of defining ancient religion and the practical implications (social, economic, political) of defining it in this or that way. HU
