Reviews
Well organized, edited and arranged, this text is of unquestioned value to all teachers of mythology, to the advanced student of the classics and to the research scholar, a welcome resource volume., The collection as a whole provides a handy introduction to some of the more useful methodological approaches to and the previous scholarship on the subject of Greek myths and their interpretation. Some articles will certainly interest some readers more than others. Most, however, are provocative, well written, and carefully documented, each contributing to the interpretation of Greek mythology., A valuable collection of eight essays representing a variety of approaches useful in the study of Greek myth... Edmunds' book provides a convenient opportunity to grapple with the current methodologies used in the analysis of literature and myth.

Synopsis
There was no simple agreement on the subject of "myth" in classical antiquity, and there remains none today. In "Approaches to Greek Myth, " Lowell Edmunds brings together practitioners of eight of the most important contemporary approaches to the subject. Whether exploring myth from a historical, comparative, or theoretical perspective, each lucidly describes a particular approach, applies it to one or more myths, and reflects on what the approach yields that others do not.Contributors are H. S. Versnel on the intersections of myth and ritual; Carlo Brillante, on the history of Greek myth and history in Greek myth; Robert Mondi, on the near Eastern contexts, and Joseph Falaky Nagy, on the Indo-European structure in Greek myth; William F. Hansen on myth and folklore; Claude Calame, on the Greimasian approach; Richard Caldwell, on psychoanalytic interpretations; and Christiane Sourvinou-Inwood, on the iconography of vase paintings of Theseus and Medea--and on a methodology for "reading" such visual sources. In his introduction, Edmunds confronts Marcel Detienne's recent deconstruction of the notion of Greek mythology and reconstructs a meaning for myth among the ancient Greeks.

The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
