« Réserve de pensée, le mythe a fini par vivre d'une vie propre, à mi-chemin entre la raison et la foi ou le jeu. En lui a pris sa source toute la méditation des Grecs, et, après eux, celle de leurs lointains héritiers ; c'est à lui que les poètes tragiques demandèrent leurs sujets et les lyriques leurs images. Prométhée, Œdipe, Oreste ont été, d'abord, des héros de légende. Les images d'Achille et d'Ulysse, la folie d'Ajax, indéfiniment reproduites sur les vases : cruches à vin, coupes, récipients de toutes sortes, mêlaient le mythe à la vie quotidienne et le rendaient familier. À la maison comme au théâtre, ses figures sont des compagnes qui imprègnent la pensée, occupent l'imagination, dominent les conceptions morales. Il n'est jusqu'aux philosophes, lorsque le raisonnement a atteint sa limite, qui n'y aient recours comme à un mode de connaissance susceptible de livrer l'inconnaissable. »

This collection of essays brings innovative perspectives to the study of ancient mythography, that is, the writings of Greeks and Romans about their own mythical traditions. It treats a range of sources from the beginnings of myth criticism in the 5th century BCE to the end of antiquity in the 5th century CE, highlighting mythography's centrality to ancient views of myth and moving beyond seeing mythographic texts as valuable primarily for the preservation of details about traditional stories. Important individual mythographers are treated (e.g., Ps.-Apollodorus and Hyginus), but throughout there is an emphasis on the connections of mythography with more literary genres, such as epic, and more prestigious prose genres, such as historiography and geography. This makes the volume of interest for those who work on myth in Greek and Roman society, but also for anyone working on ancient intellectual history more broadly, including those who study rhetoric, education, literary composition, art and ancient scholarly traditions.

"Greek myth has played an unparalleled role in the formation of Western visual traditions, for which it has provided a nearly inexhaustible source of forms, symbols, and narratives. This richly illustrated book examines the legacy of Greek mythology in Western art from the classical era to the present. It reveals the range and variety with which individual Greek myths, motifs, and characters have been treated throughout the history of the visual arts in the West. Tracing the emergence, survival, and transformation of key mythological figures and motifs from ancient Greece through the modern era, it explores the enduring importance of such myths for artists and viewers in their own time and over the millennia that followed"--
