This work brings together eleven of Richard Buxton's studies of
Greek mythology and Greek tragedy, focusing especially on the
interrelationship between the two, and their importance to the
Greeks themselves. Situating and contextualizing topics and themes,
such as mountains, (were)wolves, mythological names,
movement/stillness, blindness, and feminization, within the world
of ancient Greece - its landscapes, social and moral priorities,
and mental structures - he traces the intricate variations and
retellings which they underwent in Greek antiquity. Although each
chapter has appeared in print in some form before, each has been
thoroughly revised for the present book, taking into account recent
research. The introduction sets out the principles and objectives
which underlie Buxton's approach to Greek myths, and how he sees
his own method in relation to those of his predecessors and
contemporaries.
