Interpretations of Greek Mythology, first published in1987, builds
on the innovative work of Walter Burkert and the 'Paris school' of
Jean-Pierre Vernant, and represents a renewal of interpretation of
Greek mythology. The contributors to this volume present a variety
of approaches to the Greek myths, all of which eschew a monolithic
or exclusively structuralist hermeneutic method. Specifically, the
notion that mythology can simply be read as a primitive mode of
narrative history is rejected, with emphasis instead being placed
on the relationships between mythology and history, ritual and
political genealogy. The essays concentrate on some of the best
known characters and themes - Oedipus, Orpheus, Narcissus -
reflecting the complexity and fascination of the Greek imagination.
The volume will long remain an indispensable tool for the study of
Greek mythology, and it is of great interest to anyone interested
in the development of Greek culture and civilisation and the nature
of myth.
