The twelve Olympians

"In The Twelve Olympians each of the twelve major gods of ancient Greece is dealt with individually. The origin of their respective names and cults of worship are traced ... Many illustrations are included ... The Homeric Hymns, the Iliad, the Odyssey, and the Odes of Pindar contribute to the thorough documentation of the lives of the twelve Olympians ... Dr. Seltman also considers the gods of Greece in their significance as a definitive system of theology"--Back cover.
