Description
This study explains how the myths of Greece and Rome were transmitted from antiquity to the Renaissance. Brisson shows to what degree allegory was employed among philosophers and how it enabled myth to take on a number of different interpretive systems throughout the centuries: moral, physical, psychological, political, and even metaphysical.

Description
The word myth is commonly thought to mean a fictional story, but few know that Plato was the first to use the term muthos in that sense. In the first part of Plato the Myth Maker, Luc Brisson reconstructs Plato’s multifaceted description of muthos in light of the latter’s Atlantis story. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)
