Full description for Personification in the Greek World
Finding personification to be a ubiquitous pattern of thought in the ancient Greek world, classicists and other scholars from Europe and Australia explore its manifestation in Greek literature, art, and religion from its pre-Homeric origins to the medieval period of Byzantium. The topics include light and divine image in ancient Greece, Eros at the Parthenaea, personification of the Iliad and Odyssey in Hellenistic and Roman art, rivers of Roman Antioch, and the labors of the twelve months in 12th-century Byzantine. The 21 papers are from a September 2002 conference in London. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
