With yesterday's post about Gospel performance still fresh on the mind, I was struck by this quote I ran across today: “To the ordinary Greek, festive and ceremonial occasions were the primary constituent of religion; theology came a very bad second.”

K.J. Dover, Aristophanic Comedy, Berkeley, University of California Press, 1972, p. 33.
