About this title: The Greek myths are so much a part of our visual and literary culture that we tend to forget how they entered it in the first place. The most familiar sources are the great works of Homer or the Greek dramatists but they were addressing an audience intimately familiar with the stories and so are often allusive and incomplete. There is no surviving account in ancient Greek literature of stories as important as the fall of Troy or Theseus, and the Minotaur, and it is to the visual sources that we have to turn to much of our knowledge of the myths.
Note: This is a general synopsis. Each listing is described below.

"This book was not the easiest to follow due to it's images set in clumps that one has to refer back to in order to understand the text. It would benefit much from having the image right next to the text. Someone reading this would need to have a clear knowledge of the myth behind the artwork to fully grasp the meanings of the readings. This would be a good book to pull images and text from for an in-class shared experience for the students."
