Myth and History in Ancient Greece
Author: Claude Calame
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691114587
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 199
Book Description
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.

Pages : 926
Book Description
Cet ouvrage propose un panorama de la survie des mythes antiques : roman, théâtre, poésie et cinéma, peinture, musique, réflexion théorique sur la constante métamorphose du matériau mythique.

L'articulation de l'ensemble est thématique et chronologique : de Jupiter et Hélios à Mithra le tauroctone, de Psyché à Hermaphrodite, du gracieux Adonis au courageux saint Sébastien. Visites des " laboratoires " du mythe que furent le Moyen Âge, la Renaissance, les siècles suivants, et surtout le XXe siècle. L'étude de noyaux mythiques, redéployés avec un grand art du détail, permet au lecteur de ressentir cette jubilation constante que renferme le travail sur le mythe.

Interpretations of Greek Mythology (Routledge Revivals)
Author: Jan N. Bremmer
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317800249
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
Interpretations of Greek Mythology, first published in1987, builds on the innovative work of Walter Burkert and the ‘Paris school’ of Jean-Pierre Vernant, and represents a renewal of interpretation of Greek mythology. The contributors to this volume present a variety of approaches to the Greek myths, all of which eschew a monolithic or exclusively structuralist hermeneutic method. Specifically, the notion that mythology can simply be read as a primitive mode of narrative history is rejected, with emphasis instead being placed on the relationships between mythology and history, ritual and political genealogy. The essays concentrate on some of the best known characters and themes – Oedipus, Orpheus, Narcissus – reflecting the complexity and fascination of the Greek imagination. The volume will long remain an indispensable tool for the study of Greek mythology, and it is of great interest to anyone interested in the development of Greek culture and civilisation and the nature of myth.

Les Métamorphoses
Author: Antoninus (Liberalis)
Publisher: Les Belles Lettres
ISBN:
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : fr
Pages : 302
Book Description
La mythologie a un caractere proliferant et rapidement il devint impossible de connaitre l'ensemble des mythes. Fleurirent alors des manuels de mythologie, destines tant aux auteurs qu'aux erudits, dont le but etait de presenter cet echeveau complexe qu'etait devenue la mythologie grecque. Parmi ces textes figure le recueil de 41 fables qui nous est parvenu sous le titre de Metamorphoses. De l'auteur, Antoninus Liberalis, nous ne savons rien, si ce n'est que son nom laisse entendre qu'il vecut sous les Antonins ou les Severes. Le texte en revanche, satisfait davantage le lecteur desireux de mieux connaitre la mythologie: sont rassemblees ici, outre des metamorphoses, des versions assez rares, correspondant a des oeuvres que nous avons perdues. Notre edition rassemble en un volume l'ensemble des fables, suivies de la table des matieres originale. Chaque texte est precede de la manchette qui l'accompagnait, permettant ainsi de connaitre l'auteur source, principalement Nicandre. L'Introduction fait le point sur les differentes hypotheses relatives a l'auteur et a ce recueil que l'on met souvent en parallele avec les Erotica Pathemata de Parthenios de Nicee. L'ouvrage est en outre enrichi d'un precieux commentaire, ainsi que d'un index des auteurs cites, un index des noms propres, et un index mythologique. Texte etabli, traduit et commente par Manolis Papathomopoulos.
