From rituals symbolizing--even fabricating--the cohesion of society to those proposed by oracles as a means of propitiating fortune; from the erotic and marital significance of weaving and the woven robe to the use of weaving as a figure for language and the fabric of the text, this lively and lucid book defines the logic of one of the central concepts in Greek and Roman thought--a concept that has persisted, woof and warp crossing again and again, as the fabric of human history has unfolded.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Scheid, Jesper Svenbro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0674005783\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674005785\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/16\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.02h x 5.30w x 0.59d","brand":"John Scheid","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946896163071,"sku":"9780674005785","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_b2253741-5e86-4654-bd5e-170409fe6f07.jpg?v=1681515650","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-craft-of-zeus-john-scheid-9780674005785","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
