Surveying a large body of Greek (and occasionally Roman) literature, as well as material remains, this volume offers the first systematic study of a central motif in the praise of humans in antiquity, and explores when, how, why, and to what effect humans are compared to gods in the poetry of archaic and classical Greece.
