4.0 out of 5 stars Great advanced undergraduate material., May 15, 2000
By TammyJo Eckhart "TammyJo Eckhart" (Bloomington, Indiana United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
I wouldn't recommend this be the first book anyone studying classical mythology reads -- the analysis may be a bit over the newbie's head and the issues require more knowledge about ancient Greek and Roman culture. However as an advanced undergraduate, graduate or professional resource, Edmund's analysis provides good food for thought which you agree or disagree. Good interweaving of poem, play, philosophical, and visual accounts of the myths with details about Greek society itself. Could use some stronger citations at points.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quite good book, October 27, 2003
Thanks to my ancient greek teacher Carine, I have found a great interest in this book. It's a shame there isn't more philosophy in it.
