The rich and massive tradition associated with him encompasses myths of all kinds: quest myths, monster-fights, world-foundational myths, aetiological myths, philosophical myths, allegorical myths, and more. It informs and is informed by every genre and variety of Classical literature. The figure of Heracles opens windows onto numerous aspects of ancient religion, including those of cult, syncretism, Christian reception, the relationship between gods and heroes, and the intersection of religion with politics. <em>The Oxford Handbook of Heracles</em> is the first large-scale guide to Heracles, his myth-cycle the Twelve Labors, and, to the pervasive impact of the hero upon Greek and Roman culture. The first half of the volume is devoted to the lucid exposition and analysis of the ancient evidence, literary and iconographic, for Heracles life and deeds. In the second half, the Heracles tradition is analyzed from a range of thematic perspectives, including the contrasting projections of the figure across the major literary genres and in art; the ways in which Greek communities and even Roman emperors exploited the figure in the fashioning of their own identities and for political advantage; his cult in Greece and Rome and its syncretism with that of the Phoenician Melqart; and Heracles reception in later Western tradition. Presenting, in 39 chapters, the authoritative work of international experts in a clear and well-structured format, this volume provides a convenient reference tool for scholars and offers an accessible starting-point for students.</p>...1603677The Oxford Handbook of Heracles20122235https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-oxford-handbook-of-heracles-1/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/337455/292664f7-a49f-4f2e-8289-b8586319d886.jpg?v=638334300118730000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20219780190651008_W3siaWQiOiJhZDU5MDJhMS0yNjY0LTRjZmQtODZjNi1iZTcwZDMwZmU2YjEiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjIyMzUsImRpc2NvdW50IjoyMjMsInNlbGxpbmdQcmljZSI6MjAxMiwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDctMjlUMTM6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9780190651008_<p>Heracles is the quintessential ancient Greek hero.
