Cover of Evy Johanne Haland: Competing Ideologies in Greek Culture, Ancient and Modern (PDF)

It shows that the communicative aspect of the religious festival is central, and allows the reader to get to know other sides of Greece than the picture that today dominates the news resulting from the economic crisis with which the county has struggled for several years.
