The field of mythography has grown substantially in the past thirty years, an acknowledgment of the importance of how ancient writers “wrote down the myths” as they systematized, organized and interpreted the vast and contested mythical storyworld. With the understanding that mythography remains a contested category, that its borders are not always clear, and that it shifted with changes in the socio-cultural and political landscapes, The Oxford Handbook of Greek and Roman Mythography offers a range of scholarly voices that attempt to establish how and to what extent ancient writers followed the “mythographical mindset” that prompted works ranging from Apollodorus’ Library to the rationalizing and allegorical approaches of Cornutus and Palaephatus.Editors R. Scott Smith and Stephen M. Trzaskoma provide the first comprehensive survey of mythography from the earliest attempts to organize and comment on myths in the archaic period (in poetry and prose) to late antiquity.
