N1  - Includes bibliographical references and index; The prejudice against polytheism -- Greeks, Romans, and their many gods -- The polytheism of monotheism -- The politics of polytheism
N2  - As A Million and One Gods shows, polytheism is considered a scandalous presence in societies oriented to Jewish, Christian, and Muslim beliefs. Yet it persists, even in the West, perhaps because polytheism corresponds to unconscious needs and deeply held values of tolerance, diversity, and equality that are central to civilized societies
