The \"justice of Zeus\" turns out to be two things, the first basic, the second subsidiary: (1) something like natural law or \"the divinely appointed order of the universe,\" an order not always or even usually open to human scrutiny, and (2) moral law, a concession to the insignificant creatures of a day that men are, whereby Zeus \"punishes, late or soon, a man who has done injustice to another, either in his own person or in that of his descendants.\" Because Lloyd-Jones sees the first and basic notion of Dike as the prerequisite of the later rational speculation to which it led (smoothly and without violent discontinuities, as he claims), his book assumes the dimensions of Kulturgeschichte Griechenlands, and becomes the latest in a small but distinguished list of works with similarly broad scope . . .\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e From: \u003cbr\u003e Review \u003cbr\u003e The Justice of Zeus by Hugh Lloyd-Jones \u003cbr\u003e Review by: John Peradotto \u003cbr\u003e The Classical Journal \u003cbr\u003e Vol. 70, No. 3 (Feb. - Mar., 1975), pp. 61-68 \u003cbr\u003e Published by: The Classical Association of the Middle West and South\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSir Peter Hugh Jefferd Lloyd-Jones FBA (21 September 1922 - 5 October 2009) was a British classical scholar and Regius Professor of Greek at Oxford.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 237\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 8.08 x 5.12 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 28, 1983\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45390710276198,"sku":"9780520046887","price":72.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/V1QzWlNRV0xRK0tqZkN0VEYxS0dzdz09.webp?v=1775109027","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/justice-of-zeus-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
