Adonis Attis Osiris: Studies in the History of Oriental Religion
by James George Frazer (9780766176553)

In two volumes bound as one. Part IV of The Golden Bough, A Study in Magic and Religion. These studies are an expansion of the corresponding sections in Sir Frazer's book, The Golden Bough, and they will form a part of the third edition of that book. In studying afresh these three Oriental worships, he paid more attention than formerly to the natural features of the countries in which they arose, because he is more than ever persuaded that religion, like all other institutions, has been profoundly influenced by physical environment, and cannot be understood without some appreciation of those aspects of external nature which stamp themselves indelibly on the thoughts, the habits, the whole life of a people. Illustrated.
