Greek Writers Of The Fifth Century B.C. Have A Way Of Speaking Of, An Attitude Towards, Religion, As Though It Were Wholly A Thing Of Joyful Confidence, A Friendly Fellowship With The Gods, Whose Service Is But A High Festival For Man.

This We Might Perhaps Explain As Part Of The General Splendid Unreality Of The Heroic Saga, But Sober Historians Of The Fifth Century B.C. Express The Same Spirit.
