It is a comprehensive A - Z guide to Greek and Roman mythology. All major myths, legends and fables are here, including gods and goddesses, heroes and villains, dangerous women, legendary creatures and monsters. Characters such as Achilles and Odysseus have extensive entries, as do epic journeys and heroic quests, like that of Jason and the Argonauts to win the Golden Fleece, all alongside a plethora of information on the creation of the cosmos, the many metamorphoses of gods and humans, and the Trojan War, plus more minor figures - nymphs, seers, kings, rivers, to name but a few. In this superbly authoritative work the myths are brilliantly retold, along with any major variants, and with extensive translations from ancient authors that give life to the narratives and a sense of the vibrant cultures that shaped the development of classical myth. The 172 illustrations give visual immediacy to the words, by showing how ancient artists perceived their gods and heroes. The impact of myths on ancient art is also explored, as is and their influence in the post-classical arts, emphasising the ongoing inspiration afforded by the ancient myths. Also included are two maps of the ancient world, a list of the ancient sources and their chronology, the more important genealogies, and an index of recurrent mythical motifs. 000731957 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000731957 650_0 $$aMythology, Classical$$vDictionaries. 000731957 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 000731957 655_0 $$aElectronic reference sources. 000731957 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aMarch, Jennifer R.$$tDictionary of classical mythology$$dOxford ; Philadelphia : Oxbow Books, [2014]$$z9781782976356$$w(DLC) 2014012803$$w(OCoLC)863033249 000731957 85280 $$bebk$$hCredo Reference 000731957 85640 $$3Credo Reference$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://search.credoreference.com/content/title/oxbocm?institutionId=3155$$zOnline Access 000731957 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:731957$$pGLOBAL_SET 000731957 980__ $$aEBOOK 000731957 980__ $$aBIB 000731957 982__ $$aEbook 000731957 983__ $$aOnline
