Danae captive, Andromeda in chains, Hercules in the baths... have inspired multiple variations among artists that reveal the plural nature of Greek myths, with all that this implies in terms of combinations, variations, and rewritings. Throughout the production of figures, from antiquity to the modern age, historians have questioned the myths at work between shared knowledge and artistic creation.
Each of the seven essays that make up this work deals with an aspect of this vast field. Not a history of transmission, but a series of reflections on the Greek gods, on myth, on its reception in the Roman world, on the transformations of certain themes over the centuries, on the place of classical myths in Christian culture and in archaeological scholarship.
