Taking her 2004 PhD dissertation at University College London as the core, Yasumura (classics, Kanazawa U., Japan) has added ideas and writings since to cast new light on a number of early Greek epic texts in which she has found common compositional connections. The thread she teases out is the accomplishment and maintenance of Zeus' Olympian supremacy in the face of challenges for cosmic domination. She discusses the threat of Thetis, the golden chain of Hera, the reordering of the universe, the birth of Athena, Prometheus god of forethought, Typhon the son of Hera, and the bitter sorrow of Aphrodite.
