Download or read book Athenian Myths and Institutions written by William Blake Tyrrell and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1991 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes the relationships between Athenian myths and the institutions that informed them. In particular, it examines how myths encode thoughts on ritual, the code of the warrior, marriage, and politics. Combining traditional historical and literary criticism with the approaches of anthropologists, feminist critics, and cultural historians, the authors study specific examples of the epic and tragedy, as well as funeral orations and the Parthenon marbles, to illuminate the ways mythic media exploited the beliefs, concepts, and practices of fifth-century Athens, simultaneously exemplifying and shaping that culture.
