Assignment 3 (5-7 pages): Essay on group vs. individual in Greek religion. Ancient Greek religion was usually conceived of as a group activity. Using concrete examples whenever possible, describe some ways in which worship of specific gods or heroic figures functioned to mark off and identify civic, social, familial, or ethnic groups. Then discuss how the importance of the group in Greek religion relates to the standard components of religious practice: festival, sacrifice, prayer, divination, votive offering. Which of these, if any, can be successful if attempted by an individual in isolation, and how are they qualitatively different when performed by a group?
