Images of Myths in Classical Antiquity synopsis

The legends of Greek and Roman artists inspired the challenge of moving flowing novels in a fixed form. This book describes the different ways that painters, sculptors and other artists explored and exploited the dense forest of myth.

Explains how to formulate formulas for some stories. How they can be adapted, developed and even transferred to other contexts; how one myth can be distinguished from another - or confused; how myths relate to daily life or political propaganda; and the impact of evolving tastes.

The classic legends of classical antiquity are written in a lively and accessible way, fully illustrated with examples taken from a wide range of media, providing new insights into the representation of legends in Greek and Roman art.
