"One cannot overestimate the value of this set to scholars and interested laypersons from many disciplines....No respectable research or college library can afford to be without the guide, and many writers and scholars will also choose to invest in it for their personal libraries."--AmericanReference Books Annual, "Each of Reid's lists of creative works maps a part of Western civilization's imaginative response to the classical civilizations and to the world in general. Scholars and students can find no better guide to that imagination's manifold manifestations than Reid's scholarly tour deforce."--Wilson Library Bulletin, "The Oxford Guide to Classical Mythology in the Arts will become an indispensable source for tracking classical influence in all fields of artistic endeavor. Its interdisciplinary approach makes it valuable for scholars in many fields. It is an essential purchase for academic and largerpublic libraries."--Booklist/Reference Books Bulletin, "A phenomenal and monumental work of reference....These volumes constitute a book of the year by any measure, as well as offering superb value....This is a lifetime's work of richness and vision, much more accessible and extensive in range and inclusiveness than any other publication on thetopic....Absolutely essential for any humanities reference collection."--Library Journal, "Invaluable to art historians in tracing the evolution of myth in Western culture."--College and Research Libraries News, "A truly innovative approach to bibliography....This work responds to the need for a new generation of sources that cross the boundaries of individual disciplines.

Synopsis
This unprecedented work of reference offers a topically classified chronology of more than 20,000 artworks from c. 1300 to the present day, that take as their theme the subject of Greek and Roman mythology. The product of more than 40 years' research, and written in accessible style, this will be invaluable for anyone interested in the history of the arts in the Western world., Daring in concept and astonishing in scope, The Oxford Guide to Classical Mythology in the Arts is a unique reference work: a topically classified chronology of more than 30,000 artworks from circa 1300 to the present day that take as their theme the subjects of Greek and Roman mythology. In more than three hundred major entries, alphabetically arranged by subject, artworks are listed in chronological order, delineating the history of artistic interest in the subject, including painting, sculpture, music, dance, opera, drama, and literature over the last seven centuries. By bringing together information heretofore segregated by discipline, time period, or other constraint, Jane Davidson Reid has created an invaluable tool for the study of the history of the arts in the Western world. Ranging from Achilles to Zeus, entries cover all the important mythic beings of the classical world, from gods, goddesses, and heroes to nymphs, shepherds, and satyrs. A headnote to each entry identifies the subject, briefly describes relevant events and episodes recounted in Greek and Roman myths, and explains thematic cross-currents represented in the list of artworks that follows. A list of classical literary sources follows the headnote. Each listing of an artwork includes the artist's name, the title of the work, and the date of its creation, publication, or first performance, as appropriate. Also noted are the medium or genre of the work, the present location of works in the fine arts, and other pertinent information. Sources of data on each artwork appear in each listing. Enhanced by a comprehensive system of cross-references, a complete list of the sources of data cited in the listings, and an extensive artist index, which will enable readers to locate works by a given artist across numerous entries, this work presents its vast body of data in a way that is easily accessible to specialist and nonspecialist alike. No other work equals its interdisciplinary scope; no other work matches its usefulness to historians of the arts; and no other work possesses its appeal to scholars, students, and general readers interested in classical mythology and its enduring popularity in Western traditions of artistic expression., This unique work of reference offers a topically classified chronology of more than 20,000 artworks from c.1300 to the present day that take as their theme the subject of Greek and Roman mythology.Alphabetically arranged by subject and covering all the mythical events and beings of antiquity, entries list in chronological order how they have been represented in painting, sculpture, music, dance, opera, and literature over the last six centuries. There is also a wealth of information about the pertinent myth, the names of works and their creators, and the present location of works of fine art. Fully cross-referenced, and complete with bibliographies and an extensive artist index, this will be an invaluable tool for the study of the history of the arts in the Western world.
