Description: Between the eighth and third centuries B.C, the religions of the early inhabitants of Greece and Rome underwent a profound change, due to the religious beliefs brought from the East by the Indo-European hordes. This book traces the separate evolution of those religious beliefs among the Greeks and Romans, and their ultimate fusion in a universal Greco-Roman religion.
