The Birth of God is a novel written by Swedish author Verner Von Heidenstam and first published in 1920. The book is set in ancient Greece and tells the story of a young man named Phaon who is chosen by the gods to become their messenger on earth. As he embarks on his journey, Phaon encounters various mythological figures such as Zeus, Apollo, and Athena, and learns about their roles in the world. Throughout the novel, Phaon struggles with his own beliefs and doubts about the gods, as well as his desire for power and control. He also falls in love with a mortal woman named Eudora, which complicates his mission and puts him at odds with the gods. The Birth of God explores themes of faith, morality, and the human condition, as well as the relationship between mortals and the divine. Heidenstam's writing style is poetic and lyrical, evoking the grandeur and mysticism of ancient Greece. The novel is considered a classic of Swedish literature and has been translated into several languages.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
