This chapter examines some aspects of the religion of the Homeric poems in a manner which it is hoped will reveal some significant interactions. It examines more closely what religious concepts the Greek epic singers found in the epic tradition that came down to them and what changes they made to that tradition. Which of these changes may be laid at the door of the monumental poet, ‘Homer’ is a question which is easier to ask than to answer; but that question will be posed wherever appropriate. The techniques of comparative philology will be central to the approach used in the chapter, as they offer an access to the Indo-European inheritance of the Greek epic poets.
