Autor Gerald Lalonde
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 noi 2005
In five chapters this volume 1) offers new evidence for the form, date, and meaning of an Archaic rupestral horos of Zeus on the Hill of the Nymphs in Athens, 2) reports and interprets for the first time many rock cuttings as remnants of the shrine of Zeus implied by the horos inscription, 3) argues from scattered artifacts of Zeus found in central and western Athens and from comparative archaeological evidence that this shrine was devoted primarily to the popular cult of Zeus Meilichios, 4) presents evidence and arguments that other deities, including Herakles Alexikakos, were worshipped at this shrine, and 5) summarizes the chronology of this cult and shrine in their historical and topographical contexts. An Appendix assembles all the testimonia to Zeus Meilichios in Attica.

Recenzii

"There can be no question that with this splendid monograph on the shrine of Zeus Meilichios a very important part of the topography of ancient Athens was rescued from considerable scholarly and published confusion." – Ronald S. Stroud, University of California, Berkeley
"In its thorough and precise observation, the whole of this work is convincing and accurate to a high degree. The overall understanding of Zeus Meilichios seems right on target." – Michael H. Jameson†, Stanford University
