The rapid change of attitude which had thus passed over the Greek people in re- spect to the world of. Politics, of society, of justice, of economics, could not fail to seek Individualism in Religion 2y its expression in terms of the greater world of ultimate destiny and purpose. The in- dividualism which had received in the marts equal opportunity, and had demanded of the courts equal justice, and was demanding of the state equal hearing, and which in life carried the burden of its own respons...ibility, could no longer be satisfied before the oracles of religion with a destiny that in arbitrary violence robbed personality of its fulfillment or merged its fate and its hope in the fate of the clan or the race. The period with which we have been dealing marked the rise, and the following or skth century the full development, of the Greek faith in personal immortality. From the seventh century on, new elements and new states, Corinth and ^gina, Megara and Sparta and Thebes, later Athens, came to the front in Greek affairs.
