Description: The Politics of Olympus by Jenny Strauss Clay Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description An edition of "The Politics of Olympus", first published in the USA in 1989. Publisher Description Jenny Strauss Clay provides a systematic & convincing reading of the four Homeric hymns as a group, & in relation to the epics of Homer & the Theogony of Hesiod. She reveals unexpected subtleties & coherence, & also shows how the hymns work in combination to provide an over-arching Greek worldview. This important and ground-breaking book provides a systematic and convincing reading of these four fascinating poems as a group, and in relation to the epics of Homer and the Theogony of Hesiod. Clays expert and highly original analysis of the poems narrative and thematic patterns succeeds brilliantly in demonstrating not only the unexpected subtlety and coherence of each Hymn, but also the ways in which they work in combination to provide an over-arching Greek world-view. This is by far the best book that has been written on this important body of poetry. -- Mark Griffith, University of California, Berkeley Though controversial in many places, this book is of great value to classicists. Its assumption that the poems have an intellectual and "theological" coherence... is welcome and will benefit those who teach the Hymns. -- Charles Platter, Classical Outlook Author Biography Jenny Strauss Clay is Professor of Classics at the University of Virginia.
