This Is A New Release Of The Original 1890 Edition.

1890. Illustrated. Harrison was a groundbreaking English classical scholar and feminist. Harrison and Verrall traveled in Greece for three months in preparation for their book on Pausanias, Mythology and Monuments of Ancient Athens. It was in this book that Harrison first noted that myth is ritual practice misunderstood and thus the work lays claim to being the beginning of ritualism. Though largely forgotten today, Mythology and Monuments is one of the most famous books on Pausanias written in the nineteenth century. It was considered a strange book since only excerpts of Pausanias were included and Harrison had emphasized topography in relation to myth. Verrall's translation was adequate but Greek accents were carelessly disregarded. Still, it was generally acknowledged as the best guide to Athens and a major archaeological publication. The book heralded a whole series of new approaches to the mytholography of Athens.

1890. The subject of this work is not mythology in general, but strictly and solely mythology as seen in art. Literature is cited, but only so far as it throws light upon the conceptions of art. All questions dealing with the origins of myths and their literary variations are set aside. This is an invaluable book to the students of art and archaeology.

Die britische Arch ologin und Religionswissenschaftlerin Jane E. Harrison (1850-1928) geh rte zur ersten Generation von Forschern, die Mythen und Rituale wissenschaftlich untersuchten. Sie erkannte die Bedeutung von Ritualen f r die Bilder der griechischen Kunst und f hrte damit eine anthropologische Sichtweise in die arch ologische Forschung ein. Im vorliegenden Band bernimmt sie die These von Karl Otfried M ller, dass Homer und die K nstler, die Szenen aus Ilias und Odyssee schufen, auf eine gemeinsame Quelle lokaler Tradition zur ckgreifen, die Bilder also keineswegs nur Illustrationen zum Text sind, sondern eine Eigenst ndigkeit besitzen. Sie stellt die Texte und Bilder den m rchenhaften Volkserz hlungen der Odyssee (Zyklopen, Laestrygonen, Kirke, Abstieg in den Hades, Sirenen, Skylla und Charybdis) gegen ber, untersucht ihr Verh ltnis zueinander und interpretiert die Sagenfiguren. Nachdruck der Originalausgabe aus dem Jahr 1882.
