Exploring Greek Myth

“This volume admirably achieves Clark’s goal of bridging “the gap between the introductory books and the scholarly studies.  Summing Up:  Recommended.  Lower-level undergraduates and above; general readers.”  (Choice, 1 October 2012)

“There is no better guide to virtually all one needs to know to begin to appreciate what myth was and meant to the ancient Greeks. Exploring Greek Myth is the first book a student should read after the myths themselves.” – Eric Csapo, University of Sydney

“Exploring Greek Myth is an ingenious and learned approach to a topic that is all too often treated superficially and even condescendingly. Matthew Clark shows the depth of thought that myth requires of its interpreters, and his book truly speaks for itself in its eloquence and insight.”  - Gregory Nagy, Francis Jones Professor of Classical Greek Literature and Professor of Comparative Literature, Harvard University
