This first volume, subtitled «Du mythe à la raison», studies the mythology, rites and ceremonies of ancient Greece. The work analyses how these traditional representations gradually gave way to a rational reflection that marked Hellenic civilisation.
First volume of the series «La Grèce ancienne», published in 1990 and based on «Mythe et pensée chez les Grecs» by Vernant and «Le Chasseur noir» by Vidal-Naquet.
Reference work for those interested in ancient Greece and the history of thought.
Jean-Pierre Vernant was a French resistant, historian and anthropologist, specialist in ancient Greece. Influenced by Claude Lévi-Strauss, Vernant developed a structuralist approach to Greek myth, tragedy, and society which would itself be influential among classical scholars. He was an honorary professor at the Collège de France.
