Polytheism and Society at Athens, Robert Parker's 2005 study from Oxford University Press, is a major scholarly account of how Athenian civic and religious life were intertwined. Its strength is that Parker is a leading historian of Greek religion and this is a peer-reviewed academic monograph from a top university press. Its limit is that its focus is specifically Athens, so a claim about wider Greek religious practice beyond Athens needs a broader source.
