Sovereign ruler of the universe, controller of the weather,
all-seeing father of gods and men: Zeus was the chief deity of the
ancient Greek pantheon. His places of worship ranged from the
household to Olympia, the greatest of all sanctuaries. His
significance is reflected in the many chapters dedicated to him in
books on Greek religion and myth but this is the first attempt to
capture him in the round, in a single volume, for many years.
In a study that is at once masterly and comprehensive, Ken Dowden
presents a study of this fascinating god for the new millennium.
Myth, cult, art and art are examined, as are philosophy, drama,
theology, European painting and much more. Not only is the period
of the ancient Greeks covered but that of their predecessors, and
above all that of their successors, the Romans. The importance of
Zeus in the medieval period and modern times is discussed in a
revealing section on reception.
The book contains many and varied illustrations, charts and mapsand
provides a thorough and accessible, as well as scholarly,
introduction to the chief god in the Greek pantheon.
