Krátky popis
The essential illustrated guide to the gods and goddesses of
ancient Greece and Rome, vividly retelling their stories and
exploring their origins. Who were the gods and goddesses of ancient
Greece and Rome? What did they mean to the people who worshipped
them? Although their time of widespread worship has long passed,
the Greek and Roman gods have fascinated and inspired writers and
artists for millennia. From Aphrodite to Apollo, Poseidon to Zeus,
these are some of the most recognizable characters in Western
culture, yet there is a much richer past behind famous paintings of
the birth of Aphrodite or the bold iconography of Zeus and his
thunderbolts.The Greek and Roman gods are enthralling characters in
the enduringly powerful Iliad, Odyssey and Metamorphoses. They are
immortal and powerful yet also vain, vindictive and vulnerable.
Moreover, as manifestations of death, fertility, love and war, the
gods are also our key to understanding how the Greeks and Romans
saw their world.Philip Matyszak presents this pantheon in all their
complexity, guiding us from Mount Olympus to the depths of Hades.
Each chapter focuses on an individual god or goddess, beginning
with their 'biography' as understood by the Greeks and Romans and
exploring the origins of the legends. Matyszak mixes history with
vivid retellings of the myths in which the gods have a starring
role, from stories of cosmic creation and universal war to
disastrous weddings and freak discus accidents.This sumptuously
illustrated guide to the gods of Greece and Rome is a must-have for
anyone interested in mythology and classical civilization.
