Lefkowitz takes them 'literally and seriously, ' sweeps away modern misconceptions, and helps build a sounder understanding of the gods in Greek literature, theology, and life. --Jon D. Mikalson, University of Virginia [Lefkowitz] has written a perceptive account of Euripides's view of the gods and his use of them in his plays.... Lefkowitz writes clear and engaging prose and (or perhaps because) she eschews tendentious and easy theorizing. Thus anyone interested in Euripides, ancient Greek society, or Athenian drama can read this book with profit and enjoyment.
