Polytheism and Society at Athens
Parker, Robert (Wykeham Professor of Ancient History, University of Oxford)
A comprehensive account of Athenian religion from every angle - public festivals are there, including the Eleusinian Mysteries, but so are private rites and magic, and the treatment of religion by the great playwrights of Athens. The Athenians emerge as both very pious and very down-to-earth.
