"In the earliest extant works of Greek literature, Zeus reigns supreme in the Olympian hierarchy. However, scattered and scanty though they may be, there are allusions to threats of rebellion which challenge Zeus' supremacy. This book examines these passages, drawn from Homer, Hesiod and the "Homeric Hymns", to offer some new interpretations. While focusing on the theme of cosmic/divine strife, it becomes clear that hints of lost legends underlie these texts. Tracing their hidden logic helps to improve our understanding of early Greek poetry."--Bloomsbury Publishing In the earliest extant works of Greek literature, Zeus reigns supreme in the Olympian hierarchy.

Bei Aischylos (525/4-456/5 v.Chr.) hat die attische Tragödie von bescheidenen Anfängen zu ihrer Vollendung geführt. Man war gewohnt, den Dichter einen Theologen zu nennen, von seiner Zeus-Religion zu sprechen, bis Mitte der 50er Jahre sich das Bild mit den Angriffen der anglophonen Forschung verdüsterte. Namentlich der Oxforder Gelehrte Hugh Lloyd-Jones hat Aischylos den Rang eines originellen theologischen Denkers abgesprochen, und dies mit bis heute anhaltender Wirkung. Robert Bees führt dagegen den Nachweis, daß hinter den sechs (unbestrittenen) Dramen ein persönlicher Glaube des Dichters steht, nach dem das Handeln des Zeus in allem gerecht ist: Symbolisiert im Wirken seiner Tochter Dike, die zur Erde geschickt wird, um den Willen des Vaters unter den Menschen durchzusetzen. Menschliches und göttliches Wollen, so die Überzeugung des Aischylos, müssen in eins zusammengehen, soll auf Erden Gerechtigkeit walten. Das Gute und Gerechte steht dem Bösen und Ungerechten gegenüber, und es ist Zeus, der beiden Seiten das Gebührende zuweist. Unter diesen Voraussetzungen ergeben sich neue Einsichten in alte Fragen, etwa die Opferung Iphigenies durch Agamemnon, welche nun nicht mehr als Verbrechen erscheint, sondern als einzig richtiges Handeln eines Feldherrn, der in göttlicher Mission gegen Troja zieht. Daß allein die Gerechtigkeit des Zeus entscheidend ist für das Handeln des Menschen, zeigt Bees in seiner Dramen-Interpretation, die auch Nichtfachleuten verständlich ist, da alles Griechische in Übersetzung vorgelegt wird. Beigegeben ist eine Interpretation des Prometheus Desmotes, der Aischylos fälschlich zugeschrieben wurde. Bees erhärtet die von ihm bereits 1993 begründete Unechtheit des Stückes nun von einer anderen Seite: die Ungerechtigkeit des Zeus, die in diesem Stück allenthalben zu Tage tritt, erscheint als bewußte Provokation eines unbekannten Autors gegen den Glauben des Aischylos.

Cult and Koinon in Hellenistic Thessaly examines the territorial expansion of the Thessalian League circa 196-27 BCE and the development of the state religion of the League. Individual chapters trace the adoption of a common Thessalian calendar by new members of the League, the establishment of new regional festivals, the elaboration or reorganization of older cults, and League participation in a network of international festivals; cult could equally well enact alternatives to this political arrangement, however, and older religious traditions continued to be maintained both within new League territories and especially at Delphi. The result is a fresh portrait of the politics of cult on the Greek mainland in the later Hellenistic period.
