A unique resource, 'The Cambridge Companion to Greek Mythology' is
essential reading for understanding not only Greek myth, but also
its enormous impact on art, architecture, literature, politics and
philosophy across the ages. More than a compendium of isolated
facts, 'The Cambridge Companion to Greek Mythology' is thoughtfully
composed by a team of international experts who highlight important
themes in three sections. The first part examines oral and written
Greek mythology and the uses of these myths from the epic poetry of
the eighth century BC to the mythographic catalogs of the early
centuries AD. The second section looks at the relationship between
ancient Greek myth and Greek culture and investigates the Roman
appropriation of the Greek mythic tradition. Section three follows
the reception of Greek myth from the Middle Ages to modernity,
taking in such factors as feminist scholarship, cinema and
literature. Important for its reach and breadth, its integrated
approach and its up-to-date treatment, 'The Cambridge Companion to
Greek Mythology' is fundamental for anyone seeking a broader
understanding of the myths and their influence on western
tradition.
