Leadership and the Cult of the Personality, - GARDNER, J.F.

KORTE INHOUD

A wide selection of passages in translation from Greek, Hellenistic and Roman literature on the theme of justification of rule by an individual. From historical and philosophical tracts, documents and decrees, ranging from the early monarchies described in Homer to the views of fourth-century Christians on emperors, we are shown the ways in which both leaders and the led used 'personality cult' to enhance or control the stratus of early rulers. Each chapter has a linking commentary introducing each passage and attempting to bring into focus the issues and questions posed by it. (Publisher's information). From the library of the late Sir Kenneth James Dover.
