Archetypal Images in Greek Religion - 5. Zeus and Hera: Archetypal Image of Father, Husband, and Wife

Summary

What did Zeus mean to the Greeks? And who was Hera, united with Zeus historically and archetypally as if they were a human pair? C. Kerenyi fills a gap in our knowledge of the religious history of Europe by responding to these questions. Examining the word Zeus and its Greek synonyms theos and daimon, the author traces the origins of Greek religion
