- Double-weighted statement
- This substantial book (120,000 words) by a major press is the product of ten years of research. It is highly ambitious in scope - the first monograph to offer a comprehensive reading of the many meanings and nuances of representations of Greek myth in Roman art across a wide variety of contexts. Its detailed analyses show that changing uses of mythological imagery reveal an important shift in Roman values and senses of identity in the first two centuries AD. Essential reading for art historians and for all scholars interested in the complex cultural and political discourses of ancient myth.
