The Iliad – the Poem of Zeus
Author: Pietro Pucci
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110602458
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
The scholarly tendency has too often weakened the conspicuous novelty and originality that characterizes Zeus in the Iliad. This book remedies that tendency and depicts the extraordinary figure of Zeus: lord (or impersonation) of lightning and thunders, exclusive master of human destiny --and therefore of human history—and chief of Olympus. This unique personality endowed with polyvalent powers represents itself the conflict between superhuman moral indifference for mortal destiny and anthropomorphic feelings for human beings: he both preordains the death of his son and weeps on his demise. Zeus embodies the Mysterium tremendum. This new Zeus cannot glance at the past image that the tradition painted of him without smiling at its simplicity and disrespect: a parodic or amusing tone surrounds him as he refers or is referred to aspects of his traditional image. The great characters of the Poem give two wise responses to Zeus, lord of destiny: "heroic death" or serene acceptance. We, the readers, are expected to react in the same way.

An Approach To The Psychology of Religion
Author: Cyril J. Flower
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136304010
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 262
Book Description
First published in 1999. This is Volume II of six of a series on Anthropology and Psychology. Written in 1927, this book looks the connection between religious practice and belief on the one hand, and instinct together with other original or innate f tendencies ' of a more individual character on the other. The ideas presented are that the widespread phenomena of religion, both in connection with practice and belief, might be connected with original tendencies not directly, as immediate, distorted or sublimated expressions of their operation either singly or in co-operation, but indirectly, as the result of their failure to function in the presence of an ever increasing discrimination of features in the environment which provided no adequate stimulus to them.
