Greek Gods, Human Lives

GREEK GODS, HUMAN LIVES offers a more modern understanding of Greek mythology and the Greek gods. The author--a classics professor--demonstrates how the myths allowed the Greeks to understand the limitations of being human and also the limitations of the gods themselves. The interpretations also reveal a mythology that is about religious experience itself, not merely a retelling of events brought upon ordinary humans. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
