Greek Mythology and Religion

Zeus

A Study in Ancient Religion

by Arthur Bernard Cook

A monumental study in three volumes (published 1914–1940) of Zeus as god of the bright sky, of thunder and of rain, gathering an enormous mass of literary, archaeological and folkloric evidence. Many of its theories are dated, but it remains a rich storehouse of material on the cults and images of Zeus.
