A sustained critique of two influential works in the field The Justice of Zeus by H. Lloyd-Jones and Merit and Responsibility by A.W.H. Adkins. Answering the questions of whether or not the Homeric gods are concerned with "justice" in human society, and of what mechanism controls the behavior of Homeric man, Yamagata shows that the gods distribute good and bad fortune to men not in response to their moral behavior, but as required by fate; men, however, believe that the gods are concerned with human morality, and subsequently their behavior is restrained by their faith in the moral gods as well as by many other forces, social and emotional.
