Theories of Mythology (Ancient Cultures) ReviewCsapo's book is a must-read for anyone interested in myth theory, especially as it pertains to Greco-Roman myth. Not only does he give detailed explanations of the theories he covers, but he also does a good job of explaining the cultural milieu from which each theory arose. This cultural approach makes it easy for him to draw attention to some of the weaknesses of each theory (though he treats all of them with the appropriate respect). My one warning would be that, while his style is pretty easy to follow, the book can be a bit dense at times, and might alienate those who don't already have a working knowledge of most of these theories. So, while I wouldn't recommend this book for high school students looking to cut their teeth on myth theory (Alan Dundes' 'Sacred Narratives' or Fritz Graf's 'Greek Mythology' would be better for that), this book is a real treasure for more advanced students, and will even help those already acquainted with the ideas gain fresh perspectives on them.Theories of Mythology (Ancient Cultures) Overview
