A"must-have"; highly accessible account for any reader interested in better understanding the nuances of an ancient civilizationBy Midwest Book ReviewThe first English translation of history and archaeology professor emeritus Jean-Rene Jannot's "Devins; Dieux et Demons"; Religion In Ancient Etruria is a masterful examination of Etruscan religion; closely scrutinizing Etruscan beliefs with regard to death; ritual; and the nature of the gods. Expertly translated by Jane K. Whitehead into a new updated edition; the text offers students; scholars; and general audiences alike an overview of ancient Etruscan beliefs; funerary customs; concepts of an afterlife; and mythology. More than 100 black-and-white illustrations including photographs of Etruscan artifacts add a visual dimension this heavily researched and footnoted perspective. A"must-have"; highly accessible account for any reader interested in better understanding the nuances of an ancient civilization's beliefs and the connections between those beliefs and modern theologies.
