{"product_id":"cretan-women-rebecca-armstrong-9780199284030","title":"Cretan Women: Pasiphae, Ariadne, and Phaedra in Latin Poetry","description":"In this detailed study of the representations of Pasiphae, Ariadne, and Phaedra in Latin poetry, Rebecca Armstrong investigates both the literary history of the myths (the Greek roots, the interactions between Roman versions) and their cultural resonance. In addition to close readings of the major treatments of each woman's story (in Catullus, Virgil, Ovid, and Seneca), she offers extended thematic explorations of the importance of memory, wildness, and morality in the myths. By extending the net to encompass three women (all from the same ill-fated family), the book gives a clear picture of the complexity and fascinating interconnectedness of myths and texts in Ancient Rome.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rebecca Armstrong\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199284032\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199284030\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/27\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.94d","brand":"Rebecca Armstrong","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44119437574399,"sku":"9780199284030","price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_653c97b1-919e-487e-a4a0-01b987a45ff1.jpg?v=1687409345","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cretan-women-rebecca-armstrong-9780199284030","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
