From Myth to Reason? by Richard Buxton
It is often said that Greek civilization underwent a transition from myth to reason. But what does this assertion mean? Is it true? Were the Greeks special in having evolved our sort of reason, or is that a mirage? Leading experts on ancient Greece here explore whether it is possible to maintain a distinction between myth, on the one hand, and philosophy, history, or technology, on the other.
Review from previous edition This collection of papers.. provides useful insights on a wide range of issues and authors and serves generally to provoke thought concerning the interaction between myth and reason. * BMCR *
