"Ruthlessly, wittily, almost disarmingly, Detienne sets about
discovering mythical emperors in all their nakedness, slaughtering
sacred nationalistic cows and dethroning alleged democratic
ancestors."
Paul Cartledge, Times Higher Education
Supplement
"Through his brilliant studies of Greek myth, religion and
thought, Marcel Detienne has revolutionized our understanding of
Greco-Roman antiquity. In this important new book the reader is
treated to an exhilarating overview of Detienne's current thinking
on the problems to which his extraordinarily fertile career has
been devoted. It is a breathtaking intellectual Odyssey."
Sir Geoffrey Lloyd, Needham Research Institute
