Reviews"Classical Mythology in Context gives students new and interesting ways to approach and interpret ancient myth, such that they will find themselves not only having epiphanies about the ancient stories they have known since childhood but also approaching our own culture's stories with ananalytical and appreciative eye."--Reina Callier, University of Colorado, Boulder, Classical Mythology in Context gives students new and interesting ways to approach and interpret ancient myth, such that they will find themselves not only having epiphanies about the ancient stories they have known since childhood but also approaching our own culture's stories with an analytical and appreciative eye."--Reina Callier, University of Colorado, Boulder "A very useful, flexible, and adaptable text, suitable for a variety of approaches and styles. The inclusion of primary sources, comparative material, and reception add depth without the instructor having to hunt down the material. This can also save time, effort, and student expense in securing primary material."--James Francis, University of Kentucky "Classical Mythology in Context is a lifesaver! It can make a big class work really well by combining in one textbook everything one needs, from primary sources to analysis and prompts for creative approaches."--Andromache Karanika, University of California, Irvine
