The Political Economy of Indo-European Polytheism (Contributions to Economics)
by Mario Ferrero
This book sheds new light on the evolution and transformation of polytheistic religions. By applying economic models to the study of religious history and by viewing religious events as the result of rational choices under given environmental constraints, it offers a political economy perspective for the study of Indo-European polytheism. The book formally models the rivalry or competition among multiple gods in a polytheistic system and the monotheistic solution to this competition. Presenting...
The Three Theban Plays (Theban Plays) (Theban Plays of Sophocles - Antigone - Oedipus the King - Oedipus at Colonus)
by Sophocles, Robert Fagles, and Bernard M. W. Knox

Barbara Goff sets the play in i...
