Images of Myths in Classical Antiquity explores the ways that classical artists portrayed a variety of myths. It explains how formulas were devised for certain stories; how new forms were created to reflect changes in interpretations; what links exist between myths depicted and with daily life and historical propaganda; and the influence of changing taste. Illustrated with examples from a wide range of media, this book strikes a balance between serious scholarly research and accessible, nontechnical presentation, offering a fresh approach to Greek and Roman mythological illustration.
