Here Bonnie MacLachlan explores the Greek concept of grace, or charis, as depicted in poetic works from Homer to Aeschylus, to tap into the essential meaning behind the manifold uses of the term. She also relates it to other important concepts in the moral language of the eighth century B.C.E.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Bonnie MacLachlan</note> <subject> <topic>Grace (Theology) in literature</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">881.01938</classification> <classification authority="ddc">B718-M16</classification> <identifier type="isbn">0691069743</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/7/9/3348309.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/7/9/3348309.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordContentSource authority="marcorg">1</recordContentSource> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2022-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119070707.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
