 "Reading" Greek culture : texts and images, rituals and myths
Author:Christiane Sourvinou-Inwood

Summary:This book discusses the problems involved in attempts to make sense of ancient Greek society, in particular its texts and images, rituals and myths. The collection of seven previously published papers is prefaced by an introduction which explains the methodological approach common to each. The author draws on a variety of disciplines such as social anthropology of perception, semiology, cognitive studies, and literary theory. Such wide foundations and varied directions of approach illuminate the 'reading' of other societies to which we have limited access, and of their cultural artefacts. Each of the essays has been revised and updated for this collection, and explores not only a particular question concerning Greek religion and mythology, but also some distinctive aspects of method. Together these unearth fundamental questions such as the nature of Greek polytheism and the relationship between myth and history
