How Philosophers Saved Myths: Allegorical Interpretation and Classical Mythology

Describes how the myths of Greece and Rome were transmitted from antiquity to the Renaissance. This study reveals how philosophers employed allegory and how it enabled myth to take on a number of different interpretive systems throughout the centuries: moral, physical, psychological, political, and even metaphysical.
