Art, Myth, and Ritual in Classical Greece

What do Greek myths mean and how was meaning created for the ancient viewer? In Art, Myth, and Ritual in Classical Greece, Judith Barringer considers the use of myth on monuments at several key sites Olympia, Athens, Delphi, and Trysa showing that myth was neither randomly selected nor purely decorative. The mythological scenes on these monuments had meaning, the interpretation of which depends on context.Barringer, Judith is the author of 'Art, Myth, and Ritual in Classical Greece', published 2008 under ISBN 9780521646475 and ISBN 0521646472.
