Art & Myth in Ancient Greece (World of Art) 2nd Edition by Thomas H Carpenter (Paperback) Art & Myth in Ancient Greece (World of Art) 2nd Edition by Thomas H Carpenter (Paperback)

<p>The ancient Greeks recorded their mythology on vase paintings, engraved gems, and bronze and stone sculptures, offering depictions that often predate any references to the myths in literature or recount alternative, unfamiliar versions of these tales. In some cases, visual art provides our only evidence of these myths, as there are no surviving accounts in ancient Greek literature of stories such as the Fall of Troy or Theseus and the Minotaur.</p><p><i>Art and Myth in Ancient Greece</i> is a comprehensive survey of myth as it appears in Greek art. This classic volume has been updated with text and full-color images of more than three hundred scenes from Greek sculptures, vases, and gems. Aiding in the identification of mythological scenes and explaining chronological developments in style and subject matter, this book is an essential reference for anyone interested in the art, drama, poetry, or religion of ancient Greece.</p> Number of Pages: 312 Genre: Art Sub-Genre: History Series Title: World of Art Format: Paperback Publisher: Thames & Hudson Age Range: Adult Book theme: Ancient & Classical Author: Thomas H Carpenter Language: English

The Ancient Greek Historians (Cambridge Library Collection Classics) by John Bagnell Bury The Ancient Greek Historians (Cambridge Library Collection Classics) by John Bagnell Bury

The classical historian J. B. Bury (1861-1927) was the author of a history of Greece which was a standard textbook for over a century (and of which the first edition is also reissued in this series). His interests ranged over a very wide period, and this 1909 work discusses the ancient Greek historians themselves. Originally delivered as a series of lectures at Harvard University in 1908, this book unsurprisingly focuses on Herodotus and Thucydides, but in a chronological survey examines the evidence for the rise of historical writing in Ionia, and the influence on it of myth and epic poetry. Bury also surveys those historians after Thucydides whose work is less well attested, and the likely influence of the development of rhetoric and philosophy upon their writing, and considers the influence of Greek writers, including Polybius, during the Roman republican period, and their influence on later, Latin historiography.
