Date: 2024-06-13 12:31 am (UTC)My favorite example of prayer is this fragment which Gilbert Murray includes near the very end of his Five Stages of Greek Religion. The classification scheme you mention in your post was interesting, since when I read it I immediately thought of this prayer, which doesn't like to be classified... it's asking for help, but only because the person in question loves the gods, wants to draw close to them, and in so doing eventually grow to experience in some small way their great Life, and so in a way it is all four classes at once...
