Most modern studies of Athenian religion have focused on festivals, cult practices, and individual deities. Jon Mikalson turns instead to the religious beliefs citizens of Athens spoke of and acted upon in everyday life. He uses evidence from reliable, mostly contemporary sources such as the orator Demosthenes, the historian Xenophon, and state decrees, sacred laws, religious dedications, and epitaphs.
