A Dancing Bacchante at Harvest Time, by Alma-Tadema Lawrence [1880] (Public Domain Image)

The First Two Chapters of

Progelomena to the Study of Greek Religion

by Jane Ellen Harrison

[1922]

This is an in-progress etext of this book. So far I have finished the first two chapters, up to page 76 of 682. Long passages in Greek have been omitted (marked by ...), but incidental words and shorter passage are transcribed in Unicode. I hope to finish this extraordinarily difficult proof job at some point but have no specific schedule for its completion.--J.B. Hare, May 7th, 2008.
