Reviews

Graf's Greek Mythology immediately established itself, when it was first published in German in 1985, as the best introduction then available. Historical in three senses-a brief history of theories of myth, a view of the historically changing roles of myth, a sense of the processes of inventing, forgetting, and renewing myth-the book's strength lies in its combining an understanding of myth as essentially narrative, with an appreciation of the issue of authorship... This is a new edition, with footnotes, numerous minor alterations to the text, and a thoroughly updated bibliography. Times Literary Supplement The best general introduction to Greek mythology in English. -- Lowell Edmunds Bryn Mawr Classical Review Full of compelling insights... A superior work on Greek mythology done by a first-rate scholar. -- Paul Properzio New England Classical Newsletter and Journal
