||3 of 3 people found the following review helpful.| Helps you understand our own time, too|By Odysseus|The author argues in case ofter case how Greek myth was used to justify a certain political situation, so as to gain acceptance for otherwise immoral situations of dominance, to take one example. This is a very different way of approaching myths than, e.g., geomythology, or psychoanalysis. There is no single origin for all myth| |... a meticulously researched, straightforwardly argued and sympathetically presented account of the multi-faceted nature of myth ... It was a pleasure to read a book which provoked actual cries of pleasure in discovery! Highly recommended. - Jo

In an innovative sequence of topics, Ken Dowden explores the uses Greeks made of myth and the uses to which we can put myth in recovering the richness of their culture. Most aspects of Greek life and history - including war, religion and sexuality - which are discernable through myth, as well as most modern approaches, are given a context in a book which is designed to be useful, accessible and stimulating.
