In "Once upon a time... The universe, the gods, the men", Jean-Pierre Vernant immerses us in the fascinating myths of ancient Greece. Through his account, Vernant explores the origin of the universe, the conflicts between the gods and the constant relationship between humanity and the divine. From the castration of Uranus to the cunning of Zeus, passing through the creation of woman, the travels of Ulysses and the tragic destiny of Oedipus, the author invites us to listen to the ancestral myths that continue to resonate in our culture. Vernant, an expert in Greek mythology, offers us a deep and enriching interpretation of these classic stories.

Jean-Pierre Vernant was a French resistant, historian and anthropologist, specialist in ancient Greece. Influenced by Claude Lévi-Strauss, Vernant developed a structuralist approach to Greek myth, tragedy, and society which would itself be influential among classical scholars. He was an honorary professor at the Collège de France.
