The renowned classical scholar and archaeologist A. B. Cook
(1868-1952) published the final volume of his monumental Zeus: A
Study in Ancient Religion in two parts in 1940. The volume covers
the theme of Zeus as a weather-god - the god of earthquakes,
clouds, wind, dew, rain and meteorites - an idea that became common
during the classical period. Part 2 contains three detailed
appendixes on floating islands, the iconography of Eros and the
idea of hierogamy. It includes a comprehensive index for the volume
and addenda for all three volumes, and contains a rich selection of
illustrations: maps, diagrams, photographs, and engravings,
including many images of ancient pottery, statues, busts, friezes
and ancient coins. A treasure-trove of primary texts, both Greek
and Latin, epigraph material and archaeological data, this
magnificent work remains an indispensable tool for students and
scholars of classics, mythology and ancient religion.
