| Description: |
Forming a link in a chain that reaches back through Ovid's "Metamorphoses" directly to Homer, Roberto Calasso's award-winning re-examination of fantastic fables and mysteries, which we may only think we know, sets out to explore the entire world of Greek mythology and piece it back together. |
| Synopsis: |
THE MARRIAGE OF CADMUS AND HARMONY is a book without any modern parallel. Forming an active link in a chain that reaches back through Ovid's METAMORPHOSES directly to Homer, Roberto Calasso's re-exploration of the fantastic fables and mysteries we may only think we know explodes the entire world of Greek mythology, pieces it back together, and presents it to us in a new, and astonishing, and utterly contempory way. |
