摘要：Zeus is one of the first books to have been published in the new Routledge series ‘Gods and Heroes of the Ancient World’. This series aims to provide a ‘thorough and accessible, as well as scholarly introduction’ to different characters from ancient myth, and, by the standard set in Zeus, it certainly appears to be doing so. These books are not just biographies of each god or hero, but attempt to place the characters within ancient pagan life, from myth to cult to art, and beyond – to their reception in the modern day.
