Cultes, mythes et religions
" Il n'y a d'intéressant sur la terre que les religions ", notait Baudelaire dans ses Journaux intimes. Salomon Reinach (1858-1932) fut de son avis, puisqu'il consacra sa vie entière à l'étude des cultes, des mythes, des croyances, des superstitions. De l'Antiquité gréco-latine à la Gaule gallo-romaine, rien n'échappait à sa curiosité. Et si les frères Goncourt avec leurs manies de " bibeloteurs…

A thrilling and amazing journey to Olympus. This is a new edition of the Pantheon Books…

The Iliad and the Odyssey of Homer
Three thousand years ago the world was still young. The western continent was a huge wilderness, and the greater part of Europe was inhabited by savage and wandering tribes. Only a few nations at the eastern end of the Mediterranean and in the neighbouring parts of Asia had learned to dwell in cities, to use a written language, to make laws for themselves, and to live in a more orderly fashion.…
