200233744Cambridge University Press. 2002. Hardcover. Very Good in No Dust Jacket dust jacket. Minor pencil marginalia to some pages by Jenifer Neils.; Stories take time to tell; Greek and Roman artists had to convey them in static images. How did they go about it How could they ensure that their scenes would be recognized What problems did they have How did they solve them This generously illustrated book explores the ways classical artists portrayed a variety of myths. It explains how formulas were devised for certain stories; how these inventions could be adapted developed and even transferred to other myths; how one myth could be distinguished from another; what links there were with daily life and historical propaganda; the influence of changing tastes and problems still outstanding. Examples are drawn from a wide range of media--vases murals mosaics sarcophagi sculpture--used by the ancient Greeks and Romans. The myths are mostly those that are also easily recognized in later works of art. No previous knowledge of the subject is assumed all examples are illustrated and all names terms and concepts are fully explained. Susan Woodford teaches Greek and Roman art at the University of London and is engaged in research for the Department of Greek and Roman Antiquities at the British Museum.

Dustjacket has minor shelfwear and rubbing.; A large number of Greek religious poems in hexameter were attributed to Orpheus as they were to similar miracle-man figures like Bakis Musaeus Abaris Aristeas Epimenides and the Sybil. Of this vast literature only two examples survive whole: a set of hymns composed at some point in the 2nd or 3rd century AD and an Orphic Argonautica composed somewhere between the 4th and 6th centuries AD. Earlier Orphic literature which may date back as far as the 6th century BC survives only in papyrus scraps or in quotations by later authors.; 296 pages; Sandpiper reprint of 1983 Edition. . 0198148542 .

199533331Oxford University Press. 1995. Hardcover. Fine in Very Good dust jacket. Review of book tipped in. Dustjacket has faint creasing; 0.85 x 9.32 x 6.32 Inches; 240 pages; Theseus is celebrated as the greatest of Athenian heroes. This work explores what he meant to the Athenians at the height of their city-state in the fifth century B. C. Assembling material that has been scattered in scholarly works Henry Walker examines the evidence for the development of themyth and cult of Theseus in the archaic age. He then looks to major works of classical literature in which Theseus figures exploring the contradictions between the archaic primitive side of his character and his refurbished image as the patron of democracy. His ambiguous nature as outsider flouting accepted standards of behavior while at the same time being a hero-king and a representative of higher ideals is analyzed through his representations in the work of Bacchylides Euripides and Sophocles. This is the only work of scholarship that examines the literary representation ofTheseus so thoroughly. It brings to life a literary character whose virtues flaws and contradictions belong in no less a degree to his creators the people of Athens. . 0195089081 . Oxford University Press hardcover
