The Fall of Troy in Early Greek Poetry and Art

Series: Oxford Classical Monographs

Fall of Troy in Early Greek Poetry and Art The author examines images of the fall of Troy in early Greek epic poetry, fifth-century Athenian tragedy, and Athenian black- and red-figure vase painting to focus on the narrative artistry with which poets and painters blended the various components of the myth into a balanced whole and intertwined them with other chapters in the story of Troy.
