{"product_id":"challenges-to-the-power-of-noriko-yasumura-9780715636787","title":"Challenges to the Power of Zeus in Early Greek Poetry","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the earliest extant works of Greek literature, Zeus reigns supreme in the Olympian hierarchy. However, scattered and scanty though they may be, there are allusions to threats of rebellion which challenge Zeus' supremacy. This book examines these passages, drawn from Homer, Hesiod and the \"Homeric Hymns\", to offer some new interpretations. While focusing on the theme of cosmic\/divine strife, it becomes clear that hints of lost legends underlie these texts. Tracing their hidden logic helps to improve our understanding of early Greek poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Noriko Yasumura\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0715636782\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780715636787\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bristol Classical Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.30w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2011 pg. 181","brand":"Noriko Yasumura","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48153092915455,"sku":"9780715636787","price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3761786b-24df-4b14-bd38-470a3f09853a.jpg?v=1770781235","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/challenges-to-the-power-of-noriko-yasumura-9780715636787","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
