It seeks to ascertain how and why it was that an abstract concept of 'righteous indignation', later becoming 'divine retribution', would ever have been thought of as an appropriate concept to personify and worship as a deity. | Publication Type: | Thesis Doctoral | Field of Research (FoR) 2008: | 210306 Classical Greek and Roman History | Field of Research (FoR) 2020: | 430305 Classical Greek and roman history | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 970121 Expanding Knowledge in History and Archaeology | Rights Statement: | Copyright 2015 - Wendy Kimelyn Backe-Hansen | HERDC Category Description: | T2 Thesis - Doctorate by Research | Statistics to Oct 2018: | Visitors: 41 |
