ZEUS
Routledge. Very Good with no dust jacket. 2006. Hardcover. 0415305020 . Foxing to top of textblock and edges else book is fine. ; The first book to capture a complete picture of the most important of Greek gods in one reliable volume for almost 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 much more and allows us to take seriously what it was to worship and respect the greatest of Greek gods and to live through the aftershock of the Middle Ages and modern times. Showing the evidence along the way Zeus is student-friendly and includes: a range of illustrations and maps translated passages from ancient authors a chronology and excellent indexing. Looking at the ancient Greeks their predecessor and their successors � the Romans and beyond � the book is engagingly written and speaks to a modern audience: this is Zeus from our remote ancestors to Wagner and into the computer age. ; Gods and Heroes of the Ancient World; 192 pages .

Dumezil Georges Tr. Alf Hiltebeitel
THE DESTINY OF A KING
University of Chicago Press. Near Fine with no dust jacket. 1973. Hardcover. 0226169758 . The preeminent scholar of comparative studies of Indo-European society Georges Dum�zil theorized that ancient and prehistoric Indo-European culture and literature revolved around three major functions: sovereignty force and fertility. This work treats these functions as they are articulated through "first king" legends found in Indian Iranian and Celtic epics particularly the Mahabharata. Dum�zil drawing on an extraordinarily broad range of Indo-European sources from Scandinavia to India and offering an original and provocative analytic method set a new agenda for studies in comparative oral literature historical linguistics comparative mythology and history of religions. The Destiny of a King examines one of the "little" epics within the Mahabharata�the legend of King Yayati a distant ancestor of the Pandavas the heroes of the larger epic. Dum�zil compares Yayati's attributes and actions with those of the legendary Celtic king Eochaid Feidlech and also finds striking similarities in the stories surrounding the daughters of these two kings the Indian Madhavi and the Celtic Medb. When he compares these two traditions with the "first king" legends from Iran he finds such common themes as the apportionment of the earth and the "sin of the sovereign. " Contents: Yayati and his Sons; Yayati and his Daughter's Sons; Vasu Uparicara; Madhavi; Eochaid Feidlech His Daughers and his sons; Perspectives. ; 6.89 x 0.81 x 4.18 Inches; 170 pages .
