Review: I felt like I had been desensitised to the idea of sacrifice ... - Used this book when doing a module on Greek religion at warwick uni! I felt like I had been desensitised to the idea of sacrifice because it was such an inherent part of the topic but Burkert put it in a whole new light for me! Made me see ancient sacrifice as more than just a ritual, very interesting study!!! Definitely recommend!
