Classical Mythology

Twelfth Edition

Author Mark Morford, Robert J. Lenardon, and Michael Sham

• Strong translations, all by authors.
• Meticulously researched art program.
• Myth and Culture. The visual program is further enriched by the "Myth & Culture" features, all of which were composed by Professor Sham. In twelve illustrated essays throughout the text, this feature allows a close and careful comparative study of the ways in which mythical figures and episodes have been depicted by different artists in a variety of media.
• Audio Recordings. Users of Classical Mythology consistently praise the book for the quality of the translations of ancient works, all of which were done by the authors. Readers can enjoy listening to many of these translations as streaming audio files in either the enhanced e-book or in Oxford Learning Link: www.oup.com/he/morford12e . The translations that are available in an audio format are indicated in the margin by a icon.
• Closer Look Image Analyses. The "Closer Look" image analyses offer the opportunity to examine in detail paintings, frescoes, sculpture, mosaics, photographs, and other fine art that represent important episodes from classical myth. Each "Closer Look" includes detailed commentary and guiding questions.
• Strong digital support for instructors and students-the most of any book for this course.

New to this Edition:

• In keeping with the challenge to present a rich visual program to accompany the text, a number of new illustrations have been included with informative captions.
• Throughout, the text has been edited for greater clarity and accuracy. Chapter 25, "Greek Mythology in the Roman World," offers revised coverage of Ovid's Metamorphoses.
• Throughout the text, the end of chapter bibliographies have been edited and updated with new material.
• The enhanced e-book embeds digital resources directly the text, offering the reader an enhanced learning experience. These resources include note taking guides, audio flashcards, Closer Look videos, chapter practice questions, audio recordings, and web resources.
