This volume contains all the prayers included in Devotion: Prayers to the Gods of the Greeks and In Praise of Olympus: Prayers to the Greek Gods. There are a very few additional pieces, which are also available online at Underflow: Prayers to the Greek Gods at http: //greekpagan.wordpress.com. I say this to let you know that if you've already read what I've already written, there won't be much new here for you; the main reason I decided to combine them into a single volume is for my own convenience.

Elegant and entertaining, this is the history of the most vibrant characters in classical civilisation. With their vast appetites, great beauty and warlike tendencies, it's hard to resist their pull on the imagination, even though, in antiquity, the gods of Olympus were just as often seen as cruel, over-sexed, mad or just plain silly. And yet they were survivors, whose story only began with classical civilisation. Masters of re-invention (though never too hard to identify), they began to resemble pharaohs in Egypt and lead respectable Roman citizens in orgiastic rituals of drink and sex. Under Christianity and Islam they went undercover as demons, allegories, and planets, waiting for a triumphant re-emergence in a Renaissance vision of ancient beauty. They travelled east along the Silk Route to the walls of cave-temples in China, and west, colonising the Americas. They featured on Wedgwood teapots, attacked the poet Hölderlin, haunted Nietzsche, and visited Borges in restless dreams. Barbara Graziosi deftly traces the travels and transformations of these pagan deities from the distant past to the present, showing that the gods of Olympus remain potent symbols that help us to feel part of a broad and fascinating humanity.

Human history has produced hundreds of epic writers, poets, novelists, and historians to narrate what’s occurred in the past 5,000 years of human beings’ cultural history. There’s abundant information about social habits, religious beliefs, and political and economic institutions established and perfected by the human species through the ages, from the beginning days of human civilization to today. In The New World Order, author Vikram S. Bobbili analyzes this history, concluding that differences among human races are superficial, transitory in nature, and subject to continuous change. He asserts the oneness of human populations by examining the origin of the human species and his journey from the nuclear zone in Africa 1.5 million year ago; his ordeals though different ages (prehistoric, the ancient, the medieval, and the modern times); and his onward journey in the conquest of space. Bobbili also explores the challenges humans have faced in the past, the possible changes and problems he’s apt to address in the future, and the measures he must institute to ensure his continuous survival. The New World Order emphasizes the need to invent new faiths and adopt new policies to see a near homogeneity in political, economic, religious, and social institutions for achieving the ultimate goal—establishment of great human society.
