  • The Cults of the Greek States

    Open AccessLewis Richard FarnellBOOKCults of the Greek States2010

    Lewis Richard Farnell's five-volume The Cults of the Greek States, first published between 1896 and 1909, disentangles classical Greek mythology and religion, since the latter had often been overlooked by nineteenth-century English scholars. Farnell describes the cults of the most significant Greek gods in order to establish their zones of influence, and outlines the personality, monuments, and ideal types associated with each deity. He also reso…

  • The Attributes of God

    Walter Marshall Horton, Lewis Richard FarnellARTICLEThe Philosophical Review1928

  • Plato Comicvs: Frag. Phaon II.: A Parody of Attic Ritual

    Open AccessLewis Richard FarnellARTICLEThe Classical Quarterly1920

    There is no fragment of the older Attic Comedy that concerns Greek religion so intimately as this, and none which has been so misinterpreted. It may also claim to have a certain value for our literary judgment of Plato. The story of Phaon is preserved for us by three authorities, Aelian, Palaiphatos, and Servius; and with few variations and additions all three present it as follows: Phaon was an elderly Lesbian ferryman who transported Aphrodite,…

  • Pindar, Athens and Thebes: Pyth. IX. 151–170

    Open AccessLewis Richard FarnellARTICLEThe Classical Quarterly1915

    The ninth Pythian is one of Pindar's masterpieces. It contains the romantic story of the love of Apollo for the heroic nymph Cyrene, which is the foundation-legend of the great city, and he attaches to the end of the ode another graceful love-tale which was a family tradition of the athlete's ancestors. The style of the ode is suitable to the subject, and the rhythm is partly Dorian, partly Lydian. Therefore the grand style which is maintained th…

  • The Higher Aspects of Greek Religion

  • Evidence of Greek Religion on the Text and Interpretation of Attic Tragedy

    Open AccessLewis Richard FarnellARTICLEThe Classical Quarterly1910

    The object of this paper is partly to plead a cause, partly to proclaim a grievance. The last domain of ancient Greek life to attract the serious attention and study of modern scholars has been that of Greek Religion; and the exposition of it has revealed its many vital points of contact with the moral and spiritual energy and the artistic and poetic monuments of the ancient Hellenic race. An enthusiastic votary of this study might venture to hop…
