Most of the commonly read Greek texts address pollution . The pollution theme appears in tragedies, historical texts, and political oratory. Purity is a constant concern in ritual texts, and Greeks underwent many small purifications in their everyday lives. Certain archaic religious movements even made purification the path to felicity in the afterlife. First published in 1983, Miasma is the first work in English to treat this theme in detail.
