About this title: Dodds takes on the traditional view of Greek culture as a triumph of rationalism. Using the analytical tools of modern anthropology and psychology, Dodds argues that the Greeks were subject to the same 'primitive' modes of thought to be found in any society.

"Very interesting review of Greek philosophy and culture that critiques our standard view of them as being completely rational in their thinking, as the title implies. Well written and easy to follow, even if you're not knee-deep in Greek philosophy."
"Dodds was a classicist and member of the Society for Psychical Research who apparently got fed up enough with the hackneyed portrayal of the classical Greeks as rationalists to pen this popular study of the irrational elements of their culture and beliefs. It's an easy read and somewhat of an antidote to the usual picture given students in high school and introductory courses."
"An absolutely necessary book for anyone interested in having a framework for understanding Classical Greek Literature. It is a standard, and it is excellent--though definitely in the Greek Geek category."
