Greek culture in myths, symbols and terms
49.99 €
This book consists of articles written at different times and on different occasions, but equally inaccessible to a wide range of lovers and connoisseurs of the history of ancient culture. All the works are united by two big names - A. A. Takho-Godi and A. F. Losev - who need no introduction. The studies included in the collection cover ancient Greek culture, expressed mainly in myth and symbol, starting from deep antiquity, from Homer and the Orphic cosmogonies, to the 5th century A.D., Proclus and Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite. The central work of the collection - "Greek Mythology" by A. A. Takho-Godi - sets the main leitmotifs of the book, while the other articles (totaling about twenty) elaborate the most significant details of the author's concept of ancient culture.

The collection concludes with a study by A. F. Losev - a chapter on Athena Pallada from his "Olympic Mythology". It complements the idea of the great gods, Zeus and Apollo, given by Losev in his book "Antique Mythology in its Historical Development", completing the construction of the pagan pantheon of gods on the basis of the principle of trinity.

All the articles presented in the collection are based on an exhaustive study of texts spanning an entire millennium. Ancient Greek culture from its very beginnings appears to be permeated with myth-making and mythmaking.
