Religion played a part in almost every aspect of civic life; so shrines; temples; altars; and dedications are conspicuous at almost every turn during a visit to the Athenian Agora. The author of this booklet shows where and how the major Olympian gods were worshipped; and then turns his attention to lesser known deities; such as Hekate; the triple-bodied goddess of the crossroads. He argues that the cults of heroes; such as Theseus; one of the legendary founders of Athens; were much more popular than the official state religion focused on the Olympian gods.
