Description

This scholarly monograph examines how horror and fear function as theological instruments in early Greek epic poetry, particularly in the works of Hesiod and the Homeric Hymns. The author argues that horrific elements in these foundational texts reveal divine conceptions held by both the original audience and the poets themselves, much as modern supernatural fiction exposes contemporary religious anxieties. By analysing how myth-makers deliberately included, omitted, or reinterpreted terrifying narrative elements, the book demonstrates the deliberate theological communication embedded within ancient Greek storytelling. This critical study offers classicists, religious scholars, and students of ancient literature new insights into how fear and the sacred intersect in the Western literary tradition's earliest masterworks.

Key Features

Explores theological dimensions of horror in Hesiod's poetry and the Homeric Hymns through detailed textual analysis.

Draws innovative parallels between ancient Greek epic narratives and modern supernatural horror fiction to reveal cultural anxieties about the divine.

Examines how poets strategically deployed fear elements to communicate religious concepts to mortal audiences.

Part of the Routledge Monographs in Classical Studies series, providing peer-reviewed scholarly rigour for academic libraries and researchers.

Investigates the role of mythopoesis in shaping theological understanding across ancient Greek culture and literary tradition.
