The Gods of Olympus: a History
Description:
Barbara Graziosi traces the cultural influence of the twelve Olympians, who outlasted the ancient Greeks by travelling east to India and Babylonia and west to the Americas. Using literary and archaeological sources, she begins with the emergence of the earliest stories in archaic Greece and shows how the gods were recast as demons and allegories by Christianity and Islam before emerging as lively ambassadors of classical civilization during the Renaissance.
