Eulogy Of Planet Earth: ZEUS
A Beginning to Apocalyptic End Survey of World History and Literature…
Zeus became king of Mount Olympus when he defeated his father Kronos, with the help of his mother Rhea,
Mother Earth.
Zeus’ deep insecurities are exposed, made worse by his wife Hera who never tires of berating him for his sexual encounters with goddesses, mortals and nymphs. You will see Zeus in all his power and glory, but mostly in all his human-like failings. You will get to know the complete Zeus, no holds barred, both on Viagra and addicted to Prozac.
Seeking freedom from his dysfunctional royal family, Zeus relocates to Mount Parnassus with his adoring nine daughters, the Muses.
Through Zeus's eyes, you will witness the historical events that gave birth to Western philosophy, science and the arts. As a mediocre philosophy student, Zeus engages with the pre-Socratic philosophers, the towering figures of Socrates, Plato and Aristotle, the prominent Sophists, Epicureans and Stoics, and the greats of Western literature such as Homer, Pindar, Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, and the lyric poets of the Golden Age.
When you meet Zeus again in Book 2, you will be relieved to see that he has made friends with the only being who can save him from the formidable Odysseus.
Fans of Madeline Miller’s Circe and Achilles Song, and Stephen Fry’s Myths Series will love this novel.
