«L'univers, els déus, els homes» is Jean-Pierre Vernant's book on Greek mythology, published by Empúries in paperback (224 pages, in Catalan).
Jean-Pierre Vernant brings Greek myths to the reader: the origin of the universe, the succession of the gods, the creation of humankind and the adventures of heroes such as Odysseus, Oedipus or Perseus, with episodes like the Trojan War. The volume also shows the mark these stories left on Western culture.
This Catalan edition, translated from French by Diwano SCP and Armand Caraben Van Der Meer, belongs to the Anagrama/Empúries collection and was published in 2000.
A popular work for readers who want to approach classical mythology and its influence on Western art and literature.
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.
