Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of ancient Greek religion, exploring the complex and often misunderstood figure of Kairos, the personification of opportunity.

By analyzing literary texts, inscriptions, and various depictions of Kairos in art, the author unravels the nuances of this powerful and multifaceted figure, illuminating the significance of Kairos within the broader context of ancient Greek thought.
