Writing of Orpheus

Detienne, Marcel

This collection of studies written by Detienne between 1974 and 1996 examine the process of Greek `mythologizing'. Myths and stories associated with Orpheus for example are used to form a better understanding of the Greek mythological repertoire and the cultural context in which myths are formed and re-worked. The studies are divided into three main subjects: the sex of myth and issues of gender; the `tablemanners' of men and gods; the writing of myth. 199p (French edn 1989, Engl edn Johns Hopkins UP 2003)
