The text takes the myth of Perseus as its basis, putting together a series of passages from ancient writers dealing with it. Illustrative figures are also presented, revealing a few of the great number of artistic representations of the story. These representations are arranged according to their place in the history of art, rather than as illustrations to the literary story, so that equal weighting is given to narrative and artistic representations of the myth. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the development of education and Greek mythology.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e The story of Perseus in Greek literature\u003cbr\u003e The story of Perseus in Greek art\u003cbr\u003e List of abbreviations\u003cbr\u003e List of references to the illustrations and to some further publications\u003cbr\u003e List of some vases and terra-cottas in the British Museum for comparison with the examples given\u003cbr\u003e Glossary.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Classical history \/ classical civilisation [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Classical history \/ classical civilisation\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Classical%20history%20\/%20classical%20civilisation%20%5BHBLA1%5D%22\"\u003eHBLA1\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46265810714904,"sku":"9781107631243","price":25.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781107631243i_f7a828f4-00a4-484c-85a7-502f5ce67252.jpg?v=1696770417","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/perseus-a-study-in-greek-art-and-legend-paperback-9781107631243","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
