Brill's Studies in Intellectual History Mythogenesis, Interdiscursivity, Ritual: Studies Presented to Demetrios Yatromanolakis, Book 354, (Hardcover)

The studies included in Mythogenesis, Interdiscursivity, Ritual -- written in honor of Professor Demetrios Yatromanolakis, a pioneering and influential scholar -- shed new light on a variety of areas: the encounters of ancient Greece with other societies and cultures in antiquity; the interplay between art (vase-painting and sculpture) and broader ideological developments/ mentalities in antiquity; ritual in ancient Greek contexts; political ideologies and religion; history of scholarship, textual criticism/critical editing, and hermeneutics; the reception of myth and of archaic and classical Greek culture and philosophy in diverse discursive, mediatic, and sociocultural contexts -- from early twentieth-century painting, to modernism and the avant-garde, to Foucauldian thought.
