This book examines the changes in the religious mentality of Athenians during the pivotal era that marked the transition from the classical polis's heyday to its systemic crisis. The theme of Athenian religiosity and its evolution during one of the most important stages of ancient Greek history is examined from a new perspective, specifically through the work of three major playwrights of the period. Theater in Athens in the 5th century BC appealed to a universal audience, and dramatic poets occupied a special place in public life. Sophocles, Euripides, and Aristophanes represented different generations, but all of them witnessed the crisis of traditional (including religious) values, which occurred primarily during the Peloponnesian War, and they reflected this crisis in their works.
This book will be of interest not only to professionals but also to all lovers of the history and culture of Ancient Greece.
