Rezensionen

'Junker's work is an excellent tool for myth classes, both for undergraduates and graduates, since he stimulates discussion in his text and gives good suggestions for further reading in the bibliography ... [This book] leaves the reader with many thoughts that yield a fresh and well- instructed way to view myths depicted in ancient art.' Eric M. Moormann, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
