Description

Perseus stands among the greatest heroes of ancient Greece, and this comprehensive volume explores his legendary myth across centuries of cultural tradition. From his divine parentage as the son of Zeus to his heroic triumphs-slaying the Gorgon Medusa, defeating a fearsome sea monster, and winning the hand of Princess Andromeda-the narrative spans his enduring legacy through art, literature, and philosophy. This scholarly work traces Perseus' evolution from classical antiquity through the Roman period to contemporary retellings, drawing on diverse historical and literary sources. First English-language monograph devoted entirely to Perseus' myth in over one hundred years, it offers readers an authoritative exploration of how this hero's story shaped and reflected ancient Greek culture, informed later European traditions, and continues to resonate in modern interpretations.
