About this book
Nietzsche’s lectures notes entitled On the Greek Worship of the Gods contain a detailed treatment of Greek religious life including classical studies, architectural descriptions and theological discussions. In addition, the notes form the basis of Nietzsche’s later published writings on the Greeks including many direct quotes from the notes. The volume includes a translation, an extensive introduction and two critical chapters from philosophical and classical studies perspectives. The book provides new and important information on Nietzsche’s thought for specialist and non-specialist readers.
