Greek Gods Decoded

Greek Gods Decoded treats Greek myth as a religion people practised rather than a set of children's stories. It covers the succession myth from Chaos through the Titans to the Olympians, then each major god in turn.

Crucially it separates the versions: what Hesiod says, what Homer says, what the tragedians made of it, and what later Roman writers changed. The differences are the interesting part.

Cult practice — temples, sacrifice, festivals, oracles — gets its own treatment, because the myths only make sense alongside what worshippers actually did.
