The Greek Myths That Shape the Way We Think

It's indubitable that Greek myth isn't referenced in culture today, still, forming part and parcel of the canon the Anglophone canon. As such this book is bound to interest a range of different readers, such as those interested in the pop culture elements (cue or queue Omar Apollo's discography, or Freuds Oedipal and Narcissistic theories). This could also be a great read for people interested in the development and diffusion of Greek mythology itself. Professor Emeritus from the University of Brixton, Richard Buxton, presents eight featured myths that are elemental, that form part and parcel of the cannons of literature and the way we think. Containing over 100 illustration, this book utilizes images to show how Greek myth is was present and still is.
