Sinopsis

All men, in virtue of their humanity, are image-makers, but in some the image is clear and vivid, in others dull, lifeless, wavering. The Greeks were the supremeáikonists, the greatest image-makers the world has ever seen, and, therefore, their mythology lives on to-day. The genius of Rome was not foráikonism,átheir mythology, save when they borrow from the Greeks, is negligible. They worshipped not gods, notádei, but powers,ánumina. Theseánuminaáwere only dim images of activities, they never attained to personality, they had no attributes, no life histories, in a word, no mythology. J. HarrisonWritten by one of the most prominent classicists of the era, this book, illustrated with fine art classics paintings, is considered as one of the finest mythology text of all time.
