Bemerkungen

From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - very good condition but pages untrimmed - Supplement: article about Vernant (Nr. 229, 1. Oktober 1996 FAZ) - In this enchanting retelling of Greek myth, Jean-Pierre Vernant combines his deep knowledge of the subject with an original storytelling style. Beginning with the creation of Earth out of Chaos, Vernant continues with the castration of Uranus, the war between the Titans and the Olympian gods, the wily ruses of Prometheus and Zeus, and the creation of Pandora, the first woman. His narrative takes readers from the Trojan War to the voyage of Odysseus, from the story of Dionysus to the terrible destiny of Oedipus, to Perseus's confrontation with the Gorgons. - Jean-Pierre Vernant has devoted himself to the study of Greek mythology. In recounting these tales, he unravels for us their multiple meanings and brings to life the beloved figures of legend whose narratives lie at the origin of our civilization. - The Origin of the Universe -- The War of the Gods and Zeus's Kingship -- The Human World -- The Troian War -- Odysseus: The Human Adventure -- Dionysus at Theres -- Oedipus out of Joint -- Perseus. Death, and Image. ISBN 9780060197759
