"Religion and Art in Ancient Greece" is a comprehensive exploration of the connection between religion and art in ancient Greece. The book is organized thematically, covering various aspects of Greek religious beliefs and practices, including the role of gods and goddesses in everyday life, religious festivals, and the afterlife. Gardner examines how these beliefs and practices were reflected in the art of the period, including sculpture, painting, and architecture. He discusses the different types of religious art that were created, from small votive offerings to grand temples, and how these works were used to express and reinforce religious ideas. One of the key themes of the book is the idea of the Greek ideal, which Gardner argues was central to both religion and art in ancient Greece. He examines how the Greek ideal was represented in art, and how it was used to express ideas about the human body, the role of men and women in society, and the relationship between humans and the divine.
