It has been used tosupport the exercise of power through rituals and cultural signifiers that render it visible.The Iliad binds the foundation of royalty to divine power as sent by delegation of Zeus.Hesiod emphasizes the exclusive source of royal power derived from Zeus, and Callimachus,glossing Hesiod, corroborates this divine origin. Romans recreated the Greek mythologicaluniverse in the Latin texts applied to Roman emperors. Likewise, the Church assimilatedthis theocratic conception and representation of power and reinforced through biblical textsthe theoretical foundation of divine delegation. The theory thus extended throughout theMiddle Ages, the Renaissance and the Modern World. PB Universidad de La Laguna.
