| Summary: | Until quite recently the major polytheistic religious systems have been approached from essentially two different angles: as relics of primitive mentality or as the prefiguration of type of monotheism similar to Judaeo-Christianism.

This article treats the Greek example and in the three areas of the ritual (sacrifice), myths, and figurative system of symbols attempts to define the contents of cooperative research programme which specialists could undertake with the purpose of establishing for the written civilizations of the past, a differential typology of religious systems. |
