Zeus : a study in ancient religion

Cook, Arthur Bernard, 1868-1952 · 1914 · Cambridge, [Eng.] : University Press · 572 pictures

Arthur Bernard Cook's Zeus: A Study in Ancient Religion, issued by Cambridge University Press in 1914 for classical scholars, catalogues the myths, cults and material remains attached to the Greek sky god. Its plates are line redrawings of painted vases, mirrors, coins and reliefs, with figures in outline against solid black grounds and broken vessel edges left visible, giving designers ready-made silhouettes, drapery patterns and winged figures.
