An informative introduction to classical mythology, this is a book for every member of the family, from the art historian to the student of literature and legend. It is a guide to the tales of Greece which offers also a panorama of the visual masterpieces they have inspired.
The ancient myths are brought to life with a vast array of fascinating pictures, showing the diverse ways in which the classic heroes have been portrayed over the centuries. A wealth of images spans over 3,500 years, from the ancient Mask of Agamemnon, to the Surreal Metamorphosis of Narcissus by Salvador Dali. Over 200 images have been drawn from a range of sources, from ancient architecture, sculpture and vase painting, from the works of the Old Masters and the Pre-Raphaelites, and from early illustrated editions of the epic poems of Homer and Ovid.
