Description

'This work will be the definitive Vernant textbooks for students and scholars alike in the English-speaking world. It represents an extraordinarily broad range of Vernant's contributions over the years. Froma Zeitlin is in my view America's foremost expert on the work of Vernant, and her synthetic sense of and for this work is reflected in her introduction and deployment of the articles.' Gregory Nagy, Harvard University

Reviews

One of Choice's Outstanding Academic Titles for 1991 "Vernant's work ranges across the entire field of ancient Greek religion, philosophy, and literature and joins exacting philological scholarship to exciting and innovative theoretical paradigms. Not since Jane Harrison and Gilbert Murray has a classicist commanded the attention of non-classicists in the way Vernant has over the last twenty-five years."--Choice
