		<description><![CDATA[excerpt from Greek Popular Religion, by Martin P. Nilsson (1940) The religious situation in Greece was complicated in the fifth and fourth centuries B.C., even in regard to popular religion. It was simple enough in backward districts, where the old faith survived without being disturbed and where the people kept the rustic customs, celebrated the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[excerpt from Greek Popular Religion, by Martin P. Nilsson (1940) I have spoken of the religion of the countryside. Its cults certainly do not exhibit the gods in their highest aspects, nor do the rustic customs belong to the higher strata of religion. But they are near the bedrock of primitive ideas and they have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[excerpt from Greek Popular Religion, by Martin P.
