Woodard presents a comprehensive and integrated treatment of ancient Greek mythic tradition. Divided into three sections, the work consists of sixteen original articles by some of the world's most distinguished scholars of classical mythology. Section one provides readers with an examination of the forms and uses of myth in Greek oral and written literature from the epic poetry of the eighth century BC to the mythographic catalogues of the early centuries AD. Section two looks at the relationship between myth, religion, art, and politics among the Greeks and at the Roman appropriation of Greek mythic tradition. The reception of Greek myth from the Middle Ages to modernity rounds out section three. This Companion is a unique resource that will be of interest and value not only to undergraduate and graduate students and professional scholars, but to anyone interested in the myths of the ancient Greeks and their impact on western tradition.
