Description
Book SynopsisThis is the first volume in a set of two. Volume 1 introduces and collects together the scattered quotations of the Greek writers of the sixth to the fourth centuries BC who first recorded in prose the tales of Greek mythology (the 'mythographers'), whilst Volume 2 will be a scholarly commentary.
Trade Review... a well organized and very useful work. We expect with great interest the publishing of the commentaries in the second volume. * Gnomon *
Some editorial practices make the work very useful and easy to use. The authors are presented in alphabetical order, the typography is clear ... the critical apparatus follows the fragment in the brief ones and appears as a footnote in the longer ones. * Gnomon *
Fowler offers us an edition that has never been proposed before: the fragments of Greek mythography from its beginnings to the early fourth century. * Gnomon *
... user-friendly ... I cannot emphasize too strongly my admiration for Fowler's thoroughness and consummate scholarship. * Hermathena *
An extremely useful collection of the early evidence for writers of "myth as history" * Bryn Mawr Classical Review *
