KORTE INHOUD

Contents: I. The Iliad. II. The Odyssey: Hesiod: Early Lyric. III. Pollution and Purification: Herodotus. IV: Presocratic Thinkers: Aeschylus. V. Sophocles. VI: The Sophists: Thucydides: Euripides. VII: Conclusions. 'In these forceful and stimulating discourses Professor Lloyd-Jones sets out to correct the commonly accepted opinion that there was a notable advance from Homer onward in Greek conceptions of divine justice and world government; that we pass from the casual deities of the Iliad to more responsible powers in Hesiod and Solon: from the archaic age dominated by terror of pollution we pass through the profundities of Aeschylus to the enlightenment of Euripides and the Sophists. (?) Lloyd-Jones has done a service in arguing so forcefully that the 'fable convenue'of a previous generation is not the only self-consistent way of combining the elements into a more or less satisfying whole.?
