Here are a few books...I have a much more extensive list at home. (I'm at work right now...I'll try to remember to post the rest later tonight)

-Greek Religion- Walter Burkett
-Religion in the Ancient Greek City- Louise Bruit Zaidman, Pauline Schmitt Pantel; Paul Cartledge (Trans.)
-Theogony and Works and Days- Hesiod
-The Iliad and The Odyssey or The Homeric Hymns- attributed to Homer
-Anyhting by Karl Kerenyi...but I'd start with The Gods Of The Greeks, which is very easy to find and frequently turns up on amazon for less than $5

"Hands On Hellenism"
