Zusatztext
The Handbook of Greek and Roman Mythography constitutes a lively debate on the usability and desirability of mythography as a category and a genre, greatly helped by the many cross-references in, and to, individual chapters... In addition to the series' intended readership of scholars and graduate students, this collection will undoubtedly serve undergraduates in the fields of cultural, classical, literary, and reception studies equally well.
