Abstract

This article examines the historical-philosophical concept of the famous German antiquity historian and philologist, Walter Burkert. In his concept, the author examines the archaeological epigraphy, ritual and mystery side of Greek culture, religious philosophy, along with works by historians, poets and philosophers for centuries. His work focused on combining the universally recognized facts with the archaic finds, a religion that emerged in the Greek culture through the Middle East and Persian influences.
