Classical Mythology

by Robert J. Lenardon, Mark P.O. Morford
Classical Mythology
Classical Mythology

Scholarly dive into Greco-Roman mythological legacy.

If you're fascinated by the grandeur of ancient myths and their enduring influence, "Classical Mythology" might just be the tome you're searching for. It's not merely a catalog of legendary tales but a portal to understanding how these stories have shaped art, literature, and culture through the ages. The book's scholarly approach doesn't sacrifice readability and offers both new perspectives for aficionados and a solid foundation for newcomers.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Building on the best-selling tradition of previous editions, Classical Mythology, 6/e examines the literary tradition of Greek and Roman mythology through extensive translations of original mythological sources. This comprehensive and accessible introduction to classical mythology incorporates a dynamic combination of poetic narratives and enlightening commentary to make classical myths come alive for students. The authors' insightful discussions of classical myths in their historical and cultural settings—as well as their survival in literature, art, music, and film—remain unparalleled. The sixth edition of Classical Mythology features a host of pedagogical aids, including the authors' helpful student study guide, A Companion to Classical Mythology, which features chapter summaries, short quizzes, maps, additional original translations, links to Perseus and other mythology websites, practice tests, and more! It includes many new translations and a new appendix to Chapter 8 that includes most of Euripides' Hippolytus, expanded coverage of comparative and interpretative approaches as well as evidence from art and archaeology, copious illustrations—maps, genealogy charts, and reproductions of paintings and sculpture from 750 B.C. to the present—including 22 color plates, extended critical coverage, and a Quick-Reference Glossary/Index to help students quickly identify names, places, and events.
