Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of Greek mythology and its impact on ancient society with this book by Jean-Pierre Vernant. Through an in-depth analysis, the author explores the relationship between myths and the social structures of ancient Greece, revealing how mythical narratives influenced daily life, institutions, and beliefs of the ancient Greeks. Discover how myth is not only defined by its polysemy, but also by its ability to generate tensions and oscillations between the terms it distinguishes or opposes. An essential work to understand the culture and thought of ancient Greece.
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.
