This book by Jean-Pierre Vernant explores mythology and thought in ancient Greece. Through a structural analysis, Vernant examines the Hesiodic myth of the races and other mythical aspects of memory and time. It also addresses the organization of space, work, technical thought, and the psychological category of the double in Greek religion. Finally, it analyzes the formation of positive thought in archaic Greece, offering a deep insight into Greek civilization and its legacy in Western reason.
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.
