{"product_id":"art-and-myth-in-ancient-greece-9780500204542","title":"Art and Myth in Ancient Greece","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe ancient Greeks recorded their mythology on vase paintings, engraved gems, and bronze and stone sculptures, offering depictions that often predate any references to the myths in literature or recount alternative, unfamiliar versions of these tales. In some cases, visual art provides our only evidence of these myths, as there are no surviving accounts in ancient Greek literature of stories such as the Fall of Troy or Theseus and the Minotaur.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eArt and Myth in Ancient Greece\u003c\/em\u003e is a comprehensive survey of myth as it appears in Greek art.
