1994Minor 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

1971"After the death of Pericles, a new breed of politicians - men like Cleon, Cleophon, and Hyperbolus - came to power in Athens. Rejecting the traditional source of political support, the bonds of friendship, in favor of direct appeals to the people, they signaled the emergence of a new pattern of politics. The author traces the development of this new pattern-often misunderstood, often branded "demagogy" by both ancient and modern writers-by investigating the nature of political and social organization in Athens and the vocabulary of Greek politics." 218p.
