Finally, getting down to specifics, in the chapters on the Olympian gods, Powell asserts confidently that "by the sixth century But for the Greeks, the list was not nearly so fixed back to my objections about creating a false sense that there was a mythological "canon".

It is clear, both from the text in chapter six and from the accompanying chart, that Powell includes Hades as one of the Olympians. This perplexes me- as far as I can tell Hades was not usually included among the Olympian deities at all. In other words, Eudoxus omits Hades and prefers Hestia to Dionysus. Chart 6. But in the new edition, Hades has been added to the chart, with the result that thirteen deities appear in bold, not twelve, adding to the confusion.

Just a few more minor quibbles: the Orphic material still appears in the chapter on death rather than in the chapters on creation where, I think, it more appropriately belongs. And Powell's enthusiasm for the Greek alphabet--which seems somewhat idiosyncratic to me--is still apparent, though less so than in the previous edition in which he referred to the "limitations inherent in prealphabetic writing.

And finally I would particularly like to know the origin of the claim that temple prostitution occurred at Cythera. Overall, however, I like Classical Myth, and I do feel that the third edition is an improvement over the second.

Using Classical Myth and, perhaps, a few inexpensive paperback editions of Hesiod and Greek plays, it's possible to teach a class on Classical Mythology. By collecting the myths from other cultures--especially the Eastern myths--Powell has taken a lot of hard work out of teaching this subject.

I also find the companion website constructed by Prentice Hall to be an amazing resource--well designed, well executed, and most comprehensive.

Not recommended By Paul M. McDermott Nothing much has been changed from the seventh edition, except for a new preface and the correction of some typos.

I believe it's a scam by the publisher to extort more money out of college students. What the publisher provides in the way of auxiliary materials for the instructor is piss-poor. I agree with Martin's criticism of Powell's including the passage about the Iranians and that awful "" film that made Persians look like effete aliens. I also am puzzled why Powell holds on to the outdated theory that the Etruscans moved to Etruria from Asia Minor.

I have been forced to use Powell involuntarily in my college classroom. Classical Myth 7th Edition , by Barry B. Powell Kindle. Posting Komentar. Senin, 19 September [O
