Pressestimmen
'With its lucid descriptions, thoughtful explanations, lack of jargon, and avoidance of arcane Greek terms, this book is ideal for students and the general public. It could also help philologists to appreciate the conventions of Greek and Roman art and their potential for conveying the subtleties of myth. Every college course on classical mythology should assign this text, which is available in paperback, so students can understand the visual dimension of the subject. With its generous illustrations of many of the major works of classical art and its sensitive treatment of myth, Woodford's latest book is yet another leaf in her crown.' Bryn Mawr Classical Review
'This is a very accessible book which would fascinate anyone with an interest in art, mythology or antiquity … it is an absolute must for any school teaching Greek or roman art at any level and should have a place in every school library. Its very attractiveness and accessibility means that it will be the sort of book that bored teenagers will dip into when they are supposed to be studying something else and without a doubt become hooked on classics.' London Association of Classical Teachers Newsletter
'Her writing is always accessible, and she has an enviable ability to arrange her material in a user-friendly way. this is a book that should be in every library where classical civilization is taught.' JACT Reviews

Über das Produkt
Myths mightily inspired Greek and Roman painters of vases and walls, sculptors and mosaicists and challenged them to invent imaginative ways to convey flowing narratives through static images. This book examines many aspects of the problems they faced and the ingenious and often surprising solutions they found.

Das Werk mit der Pyxis-Reproduktion auf dem Titel liegt u.E. bislang allein in englischer Sprache vor. Text und Bild sind gut aufeinander abgestimmt, so dass ein Verstaendnis der Inhalte fazilitiert wird: schon in der Antike lassen sich, aufgrund der Faehigkeit vor allem der Hellenen zu abstraktem Denken, die aus Menschheitserfahrungen zusammengesetzten Mythen bestaendig perspektivisch umbeleuchtet und rekomponiert wiederfinden. Fuer die Abrundung einer Allgemeinbildung ist der Band stark zu empfehlen.

Extremely well written and illustrated
22. Oktober 2008

It was a pure pleasure to read through Susan Woodford's book "Images of Myths in Classical Antiquity". If you've ever gone to an art exhibit and wondered how anyone could identify which myth the artist is painting or wondered what you're missing, this book is for you. In this book, the author describes how ancient Greek and Roman artists and artisans told "graphic "stories, something akin to "graphic novels" which have recently become quite popular.
The book also goes over the different myths and other stories commonly known to the Greeks and Roman, so that you can more easily recognize them when they show up. Although it becomes very clear early on that it takes a PhD course of study to really become an expert in this area, there are many basics that Woodford teaches that should immensely increase your appreciation and enjoyment of art from any age that makes use of Greek myths and legends. (Most of the gods and heroes and others depicted in Greek pottery are actually labeled! --I never knew that)
The text is extremely well written, containing 17 short themes in which she examines several specimens in depth. One prior reviewer makes a big deal about the black and white photography--he's missing the point. With almost 200 high quality illustrations and images of ancient Greek and Roman pottery and statuary, Woodford has put together a gorgeous book.

Mythology for Visual Learners

I really love this book! Although my interest in Greek pottery inspired me to order it, I have discovered that it is also an excellent way to learn and remember the associated myths. The author, Susan Woodford, has wonderful academic and professional credentials, yet the text is written in clear English. I feel very lucky to have stumbled onto her work.

Very well written

The book is incredibly well written and fascinating to read. I read her entire book on Trojan war art after having only one chapter recommended. For an academic, the author's writing is fresh, jargon free, and easily understood.
