Miller, Patrick L. 2011. <i>Becoming God: Pure Reason in Early Greek Philosophy</i>. London ; New York: Continuum. The Greek philosophers treated God or the gods very differently. While Aristotle did not see their importance, others, like Plato, saw the central role of religion and the gods in our lives. This book is key to understanding these various ideas when it came to religion.

Sharif Khan, Mohammad, and Mohammad Anwar Saleem. 1994. <i>Muslim Philosophy and Philosophers </i>. New Delhi, India: Ashish Pub. House. Muslim philosophy and philosophers were critical to the survival of some of the early Greek philosophers, as they were avid learners and preservers of these older traditions. This work helps to explain that relationship and how Greek philosophy shaped early Muslim though and eventually was transmitted to Medieval Europe.

Wright, M. R. 2010. <i>Introducing Greek Philosophy </i>. Berkeley: University of California Press. For a more recent treatment of the Greek philosophers, Wright's book presents a nice easy read. This is a good contemporary book for those wanting to learn about Greek philosophy without getting confused by the complicated parts.
