  The gods of Olympus died with the advent of Christianity - or so we have been taught to believe. This title offers the general reader first a discussion of mythology in late antiquity and the Middle Ages, and then a multifaceted look at the far-reaching role played by mythology in Renaissance intellectual and emotional life.
