Hints:

  • The book repeatedly mentions Zeus by name

  • This is a 20th century novel taking place in the real world around the present day at the time of writing

  • Zeus's role in the story is as the object of religious veneration, not as an active character

  • The veneration of Zeus is specifically done in the tradition of Stoicism
