Textblock is foxed.; 265 pages; What relationship if any do the stories preserved in ancient Greek legendary traditions have to real events and circumstances of the periods and places to which they ostensibly refer A wide range of answers to this question is to be found in the works of both popular and scholarly writers not only where it has been debated explicitly but also -and more frequently- where some kind of answer seems to be presupposed in the course of their general discussions of Greek literature and history. The present book sets out to study the development and interpretation of a substantial group of Greek legends associated with one well-known figure who was said to have originated in the East. . 9025607969 .
