Images of Myths in Classical Antiquity
"Susan Woodford has done it again.  [S]he has produced another lucid and eminently readable book on the subject of ancient mythological iconography.  [A] book devoted to describing the wonderful change from verbal to visual."    Celica Milovanovic, Millersville University, The Classical Outlook"As a whole, this is an important work that makes a significant contribution in analyzing the ways in which classical artists sought to render traditional narratives within the constraints of their selected media andd especially for the painstaking manner in which the various aspects of this endeavor, its successes and drawbacks, are elucidated for the student of classical myth."     American Journal of Archaeology"A rich and accessible treatment of a difficult topic."    Judith M. Barringer, Classical World"The book as a whole is a valuable contribution to the literature of myth and art.  Layperson and specialist alike will find Woodford's discussion of the ways to approach and study the myth in ancient art very useful." - Phillip v. Stankley, San Francisco State University
