| Summary, etc. |
Publisher description: Myth was the single most popular source for picture making in antiquity. Greek and Roman artists faced a number of challenges in conveying stories in static images. 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 these inventions could be adapted, developed and even transferred to other myths; how new forms were created to reflect changes in interpretations; how one myth could be distinguished from another; what links there exist between myths depicted and with daily life and historical propaganda; and the influence of changing tastes, among other issues. Fully illustrated examples are drawn from a wide range of media used by the ancient Greeks and Romans. Striking a balance between serious scholarly research and accessible, nontechnical presentation, this book offers a fresh approach to Greek and Roman mythological illustration. |
