The Crooked Kings of Ancient Greece

The Crooked Kings of Ancient Greece

by Daniel Ogden (Author)

Synopsis

By comparing traditional narratives concerning archaic colonists and tyrants, Ogden shows that monarchic rulers in archaic Greece were often paradoxically conceptualized as deformed scapegoats. He also considers a range of related themes, including the myth of Oedipus, and the fables of Aesop.
