From Ikaria to the stars : classical mythification, ancient and modern / Peter Green

by Peter Green

Exploring the persistent human urge for myth-making, this study analyses the intersections between classical Greek mythology and history. It examines how mythic expression facilitates the rewriting of uncomfortable truths and the psychological capacity for deception.
