Opis

It is often said that Greek civilization underwent a transition from myth to reason. But what does this assertion mean? Is it true? Were the Greeks special in having evolved our sort of reason, or is that a mirage? In this book, some of the world's leading experts on ancient Greek myth, religion, philosophy, and history reconsider these fundamental issues.

Recenzje

R. Buxton has done a remarkable job of editing ... Despite the number of contributors, all highly learned scholars, and the variety of their approaches, the book presents a strong and valuable unity, a quality too seldom found in such volumes
