Description
The first and only book that shows us how classical Greek and Roman mythology has inspired artists over the past 2,500 years.
From the films of Woody Allen and the Coen brothers to the books of Margaret Atwood and the songs of Arcade Fire, classical mythology continues to be a source of cultural inspiration. The struggles of heroes, both triumphant and tragic, against gods, monsters, and fate have always captured our attention and that of artists, whether ancient, modern, or contemporary.
25 myths: Pandora, Prometheus, Venus, Theseus and the Minotaur, Bacchus, Orpheus, Icarus, Adonis, Danae, Ganymede, Leda, Pygmalion, Arachne, Narcissus, Sisyphus, Midas, Hercules, Jason and the Argonauts, Helen of Troy, the Cyclopes, Ulysses and Oedipus represented in more than 200 works of art from Velázquez to Anish Kapoor, Botticelli to Louise Bourgeois, El Greco to Maurizio Cattelan.
