THE MYTH OF ZEUS AND IO IN GREEK TRAGEDY
ISBN 978-0987918918
The myth of Zeus and Io fascinated the Ancient Greeks, with its theme of human suffering resulting from divine injustice, irresponsibility and cruelty. The issue of Zeus' uncontrollable lust and its consequences also had to be dealt with. This book traces the development of the myth from early Greek Poetry to Tragedy, with special emphasis on Aeschylus' Prometheus Bound and the fragments of Sophocles' Inachus, two plays where Io's transformation and tribulations take center stage.
The Myth of Zeus and Io in Greek Tragedy is Issue 4 of the series Monsters from Greek Mythology: A Magazine of Storytelling and Illustrations (ISSN 1918-8250).
BELLEROPHON IN GREEK TRAGEDY
ISBN 978-0987918901
Bellerophon is one of the greatest heroes in Greek mythology; and his myth was dramatized by Euripides in two lost Greek Tragedies, Stheneboea and Bellerophon, from which survive meager tantalizing fragments. This book traces the origin of the myth, and shows how Euripides, the Greek dramatist from the fifth century B.C., seemed to have presented a distinct and cohesive characterization of this hero.
