Paul E. Johnson and Sean Wilentz’s book, The Kingdom of Matthias, is a story of a religious cult that is formed in response to the changing economic, religious, and social roles in society in the 1820s and 1830s. Johnson and Wilentz discovered the story of Matthias and his Kingdom at different times, but both found the story to be an interesting one to write together.

Enthroned on the ridge of Mount Olympus, which is today called Stefani, and holding in his right hand a golden sceptre, he ruled both gods and men. A passage from the Iliad, said to have inspired his celebrated statue at Olympia, describes the sheer power of his presence: ‘Zeus, the son of Cronus, spoke, and he inclined his head with his dark brows, and the mighty king’s hair, anointed with ambrosial oil, fell forward from his immortal head. And great Olympus trembled.’

His story of how he got his power, is told around the world to many. Zeus transformed into many gods as mythology evolved, and still has a lasting imprint on modern day culture today good and bad.
