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 contextualising 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.
