| Abstract | "This book examines what ancient Greek myths can teach us about the troubles and challenges of our 'post-truth' times: environmental degradation, mass migration, war, inequality, exclusion, authoritarianism, and perplexing technological possibilities. It shows how Greek myths assume new meanings in contemporary culture but continue to stir emotions and shape experiences. They offer a diversity of possible answers to questions that preoccupy us and act as fountains of meaning in our times when meaning becomes precarious and fragmented"-- Provided by publisher. |
