Abstract

543 hand there are a number of early demands for inner purity known (e.g. Pythagoras, Sophocles, Plato). Thus, I cannot avoid the impresssion that, despite both con- siderable continuity and social or regional diversity, the main elements of the development of the collective mentality can be sket- ched. This will however require much research and this cannot be limited to the studying of a single ancient author or of a single in- scription. Rather, "our endeavour should, indeed must be to study a series of documents in order to get at the common characteristics of the world of religious experience in a given society or group" (H. W. Pleket in Versnel (ed.), Faith, Hope and Worship, (152). The encyclopedic work of Robert Parker has fulfilled this fun- damental requirement. Thus he has made an important contribu- tion to the `Science of Division' in what is for us, and probably also was for the ancient believer, the chaotic world of pollution and purification in early Greek religion.
