Buxton, Richard
IMAGINARY GREECE The Contexts of Mythology
Minor pencilling to a few pages. ; Reprint of the 1994 ed. Xiv, 250pp. This is a study of Greek myths in relation to the society in which they were originally told. It does not re-tell the myths; rather, it offers an analysis of how myths played a fundamental role in the lives of the Greeks. The relation between reality and fantasy is discussed by means of three case studies: the landscape, the family, and religion. Most of all, this book seeks to demonstrate how the seemingly endless variations of Greek mythology are a product of its particular people, place, and time. ; 250 pages

Buxton, Richard:
Imaginary Greece. The contexts of mythology.
Gutes Ex.; Umschlag etwas berieben. - Englisch. - This is a study of Greek mythology in relation to its original contexts. Part One deals with the contexts in which myths were narrated: the home, public festivals, the lesche. Part Two, the heart of the book, examines the relation between the realities of Greek life and the fantasies of mythology: the landscape, the family and religion are taken as case-studies. Part Three focuses on the function of myth-telling, both as seen by the Greeks themselves and as perceived by later observers. The author sees his role as that of a cultural historian trying to recover the contexts and horizons of expectation which simultaneously make possible and limit meaning. He seeks to demonstrate how the seemingly endless variations of Greek mythology are a product of this community, situated in this landscape, and with these institutions. The book aims to engage with the latest work in this field (e.g. the structuralist and myth-and-ritual approaches developed by European scholars) in a style as free as possible from unnecessarily obscure terminology. All Greek is translated. (II). // INHALT : List of plates Preface ------ Acknowledgements Abbreviations ------ Introduction ------ PART ONE: NARRATIVE CONTEXTS ------ 1 Telling tales ------ 2 Myths in performance ------ From the cradle ... ------ The songs of youth Stories for citizens ------ ... to the grave ------ 3 Performance into text ------ 4 Images in context ------ Archaic and Classical Greece Collection and domestication ------ PART TWO: RE-IMAGINING THE WORLD ------ 5 Cookery and recipes ------ 6 Landscape.

Cahill, Jane
HER KIND Stories of Women from Greek Mythology
Light shelfwear else fine. ; Medea betrayed her father and left her homeland for the love of Jason. Then when he abandoned her, she murdered her children. But did she? And what of Clytemnestra, the conniving adulteress? For ten years she plotted the murder of her husband Agamemnon, King of Mycenae and Conqueror of Troy. How would she have told her story? The Greek myths as we know them were told for men by men. Yet they were the culmination of a long oral tradition in which both men and women shared. Using extant ancient literary sources as her guide, including the works of Homer, Aeschylus, Euripides and Apollodorus, Jane Cahill reconstructs the stories as they might have been told to women by women. These are stories of wronged women, inspired women, determined women, tender women. Medusa tells how it is to know that one look at her face will turn a man to stone, to be hated and feared all the time. Jocasta, Queen of Thebes, confesses her love for the young man who came to cave her city from the Sphinx—her son, Oedipus. Each story is accompanied by extensive notes which discuss the ancient sources, explain relevant Greek concepts and customs, and serve as a guide to further reading. ; 232 pages

MYTH AND HISTORY IN ANCIENT GREECE The Symbolic Creation of a Colony
Princeton: Princeton University Press. Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 2003. Hardcover. 0691114587 . Book is fine. DJ has light shelfwear with a few small scratches. ; Xvii 178pp. Surely the ancient Greeks would have been baffled to see what we consider their "mythology." Here Claude Calame mounts a powerful critique of modern-day misconceptions on this front and the lax methodology that has allowed them to prevail. He argues that the Greeks viewed their abundance of narratives not as a single mythology but as an "archaeology." They speculated symbolically on key historical events so that a community of believing citizens could access them efficiently through ritual means. Central to the book is Calame's rigorous and fruitful analysis of various accounts of the foundation of that most "mythical" of the Greek colonies--Cyrene in eastern Libya. Calame opens with a magisterial historical survey demonstrating today's misapplication of the terms "myth" and "mythology." Next he examines the Greeks' symbolic discourse to show that these modern concepts arose much later than commonly believed. Having established this interpretive framework Calame undertakes a comparative analysis of six accounts of Cyrene's foundation: three by Pindar and one each by Herodotus in two different versions Callimachus and Apollonius of Rhodes. We see how the underlying narrative was shaped in each into a poetically sophisticated distinctive form by the respective medium a particular poetical genre and the specific socio-historical circumstances. Calame concludes by arguing in favor of the Greeks' symbolic approach to the past and by examining the relation of mythos to poetry and music. ; 178 pages . Princeton University Press hardcover
