Myth and Society in Ancient Greece

Rating:
Summary: deep theories to wade through
Review: Another welcomed translation of the French scholar, Jean-Pierre Vernant. Building on his previous book "Origens of Greek Thought", Vernant expands to look at Greek society more fully. Overall there is a lack of primary evidence and refernces however that weaken his intriguing suggestions. Not for the non-specialist.
