Sinossi
Mythological narrative has always occupied a paradoxical position in the study of antiquity. It is at once familiar and elusive, foundational yet protean, a body of stories that shaped the ancient world while continually reshaping themselves in response to new cultural pressures. To speak of myth in ancient Greece and Rome is to enter a landscape where narrative, ritual, memory, and social expectation converge. It is also to recognize that myth was not merely a repository of entertaining tales but a dynamic medium through which communities articulated, negotiated, and transmitted ethical norms. This book begins from the premise that myth functioned as a primary ethical discourse in the ancient Mediterranean, a mode of thinking and teaching that preceded and coexisted with philosophical reflection, legal codification, and civic instruction. The myths of gods and heroes, of cosmic origins and tragic downfalls, offered ancient audiences a vocabulary for understanding right conduct and social responsibility.
