IRB Intro #3 "Greek Religion"

In Walter Burkert’s book on Greek Religion, he sets out to prove that even though it has always seemed familiar, it is a historical phenomenon. I have always been interested in Greek mythology and this seems like a great way to find out and hear stories I cannot find on Wikipedia. This book may also expand my horizon of topics within Greek mythology and religion. I only have a general knowledge of certain gods, goddesses, and events, and I would love to know more. There are going to be many topics in this book that I have never even heard of (I can tell just from looking in the table of contents), so I am looking forward to that.
