This is the first in-depth comparative analysis of envy, jealousy, and vengefulness experienced by divine personalities in the Hebrew Bible and ancient Greek texts, and the functions served by attributing negative emotions and traits to one’s gods.  Meer

This book explores the persona of the artist in Archaic and Classical Greek art and literature.
