This Is A New Release Of The Original 1890 Edition.
This Is A New Release Of The Original 1890 Edition.
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.
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.

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.
