Description

The first book to capture a whole picture of an important of Greek gods in one reliable volume for nearly seventy years, this masterly and comprehensive study brings a new-millennium examination of the fascinating god Zeus.

Broad in scope, the book looks at myth, art, cult, philosophy, drama, theology and European painting amongst a lot more, and allows us to take seriously what it used to be to worship and respect the greatest of Greek gods, and to live throughout the aftershock of the Middle Ages and brand new times.

Showing the evidence along the best way, Zeus is student-friendly and includes:

  • a range of illustrations and maps
  • translated passages from ancient authors 
  • a chronology and excellent indexing.

Looking on the ancient Greeks their predecessor and their successors – the Romans and beyond – the book is engagingly written and speaks to a brand new audience: that is Zeus from our remote ancestors to Wagner, and into the computer age.
