Title :
Approaches to Greek MythAuthor: Edmunds Lowell (EDT) Publisher: Johns Hopkins Univ Pr Since the first edition of Approaches to Greek Myth was published in 1990, interest in Greek mythology has surged. There was no simple agreement on the subject of "myth" in classical antiquity, and there remains none today. Is myth a narrative or a performance? Can myth be separated from its context? What did myths mean to ancient Greeks and what do they mean today? Here, Lowell Edmunds brings together practitioners of eight of the most important contemporary approaches to the subject. Whether exploring myth from a historical, comparative, or theoretical perspective, each contributor lucidly describes a particular approach, applies it to one or more myths, and reflects on what the approach yields that others do not. Edmunds's new general and chapter-level introductions recontextualize these essays and also touch on recent developments in scholarship in the interpretation of Greek myth. Contributors are Jordi Pàmias, on the reception of Greek myth through history; H. S. Versnel, on the intersections of myth and ritual; Carolina López-Ruiz, on the near Eastern contexts; Joseph Falaky Nagy, on Indo-European structure in Greek myth; William Hansen, on myth and folklore; Claude Calame, on the application of semiotic theory of narrative; Christiane Sourvinou-Inwood, on reading visual sources such as vase paintings; and Robert A. Segal, on psychoanalytic interpretations. € 28,10

Title :
Ed è subito MartiniAuthor: Edmunds Lowell Publisher: Archinto Il cocktail che Roosevelt offrì a Stalin, che Krusciov definì "l'arma più micidiale degli Stati Uniti", che costò al candidato Jimmy Carter una serie di perfide battute e corsivi ironici, che fu citato da Cole Porter in una sua celebre canzone, che ispirò designer quali McConnico e Lalique, senza contare gli scrittori (da Pearl Buck a Maugham, da Jack London a Hemingway) e il cinema, è stato a buon diritto definito da qualcuno "un elemento imprescindibile nel quotidiano e nell'immaginario degli americani". In questo libro, documentatissimo eppure lieve e ironico, l'autore ci accompagna nella lettura e nell'interpretazione di un fenomeno intrigante, che "offre scelte a trecentosessanta gradi a chiunque voglia guardare dentro (o attraverso) il proprio bicchiere". Prefazione di Umberto Eco. € 18,00

Title :
OedipusAuthor: Edmunds Lowell (EDT), Dundes Alan (EDT) Publisher: Univ of Wisconsin Pr Classicist Lowell Edmunds and folklorist Alan Dundes both note that “the Oedipus tale is not likely to ever fade from view in Western civilization, [as] the tale continues to pack a critical family drama into a timeless form.” Looking beyond the story related in Sophocles' drama—the ancient Theban myth of the son who unknowingly kills his father and marries his mother—Oedipus: A Folklore Casebook examines variations of the tale from Africa and South America to Eastern Europe and the Pacific. Taking sociological, psychological, anthropological, and structuralist perspectives, the nineteen essays reveal the complexities and multiple meanings of this centuries-old tale. € 21,30
