About this ebook
This volume is designed as a companion to the standard undergraduate
mythology textbooks or, when assigned alongside the central Greek and
Roman works, as a source-based alternative to those textbooks.
In addition to the complete texts of the Homeric Hymns and Hesiod's Theogony,
this collection provides generous selections from over 50 texts
composed between the Archaic Age and the fourth century A.D. Ancient
interpretation of myth is represented here in selections from the
allegorists Heraclitus, Cornutus and Fulgentius, the rationalists
Palaephatus and Diodorus of Sicily, and the philosophers and historians
Plato, Herodotus and Thucydides. Appendices treat evidence from
inscriptions, papyri and Linear B tablets and include a thematic index, a
mythological dictionary, and genealogies. A thoughtful Introduction
supports students working with the primary sources and the other
resources offered here; an extensive note to instructors offers
suggestions on how to incorporate this book into their courses.
