Roochnik, David. 2004. <i>Retrieving the Ancients: An Introduction to Greek Philosophy</i>. Malden, MA: Blackwell Pub. A good introduction into Greek philosophy and its development. The book is not highly detailed but focuses on explaining the key ideas and knowledge developed by the philosophers of Greece.
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.
