More specifically, it will focus on the reconstruction, transmission and reception of the myth in Greece and Rome by examining the different adaptations and interactions of the story through the lens of assemblage theory. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences to the Tereus myth date back to the Homeric poems; it was addressed by renowned dramatists, such as Aeschylus, Sophocles and Accius, before being adapted by Ovid. These different versions raise questions about the reconstruction of the myth and the representation of women, revenge, paidophagia and metamorphosis. Aspects of the story reverberate in ancient material culture, especially Greek vase paintings, which stem from different variants and traditions. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBuilding on assemblage theory, the volume draws forth collaboration between specialists in Classical studies to examine how the myth was adapted in Greece and Rome without prestiging a Greek original. As such, it will be of significant interest for researchers and postgraduate students working on Greek and Roman tragedy, Ovid, classical reception and ancient material culture. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alessandra Abbattista\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3110728702\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783110728705\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/14\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Alessandra Abbattista","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46526452728063,"sku":"9783110728705","price":140.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_17916913-4d26-4298-addd-988a3ab3962f.jpg?v=1737556227","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tereus-through-the-ages-alessandra-abbattista-9783110728705","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
