Archetypes of human vice and virtue, the mythic gods and heroes from Greek and Roman literature are our noble forebears, and they formed the basis of Western culture. For this reason they played a rich role in the history of art, particularly during the Renaissance, Baroque, and Neoclassical eras. Devoted to the gods and heroes of mythology and of classical history, this book allows readers to learn their names and attributes, the metamorphoses they so often underwent, as well as the allegories developed from their stories. With more than 400 illustrations, Gods and Heroes in Art is a guide both to the classical world and to the masterpieces of European painting and sculpture.
