Description
From Achilles to Zephyr, this dictionary's entries are concerned with the allegorical traditions of Medieval and Renaissance Christians related to the gods, goddesses, heros, heroines, and places of classical myth. The material is culled from English, Latin, Greek, Italian, French, Dutch, German, and Spanish sources from the early Middle Ages to Milton. Readers are guided as to which traditions were current at what time, so someone reading Shakespeare, for example, can learn what Shakespeare's audience would have thought about particular classical figures. c.
