Themis
Cover of 'Themis' by Jane E. Harrison
"Themis" is a scholarly work that delves into the origins and development of ancient Greek religion, focusing particularly on the social aspects of ritual and myth rather than the theological specifics. The book examines the concept of Themis, traditionally associated with divine order and law, and explores how this concept relates to the collective consciousness and practices of early Greek society. Through a detailed analysis of rituals, festivals, and myths, the author argues that Themis plays a central role in creating and maintaining social order and cohesion among the ancient Greeks. The study draws extensively on literary and archaeological sources to reconstruct the religious atmosphere of ancient Greece, providing insights into how early Greeks understood their world and the divine forces that shaped it.

Mary Beard described Harrison as '... the first woman in England to become an academic, in the fully professional sense – an ambitious, full-time, salaried, university researcher and lecturer'.[7]
