Religious
life of the polis: D&G pp. 354-382. Please read
the entire chapter and prepare a brief (1-2 mins.) statement on
what the passages in your section reveal about Greek religious life;
you may limit your comments to one passage if you prefer. The first
half of the Martin chapter ("Athenian Religious and Cultural
Life in the Golden Age" to "Sophocles' Antigone")
provides useful background reading.
