Summary
Giulio Guidorizzi, Silvia Romani: Sea of Gods: Greek Islands in Mythology
In the book Sea of Gods. Greek islands in mythology, numerous Greek myths become clearer and even more attractive, because the authors, two Milanese university professors, specialists in Greek mythology and religion, illuminated them in the context of their origin - the context of the Aegean and Ionian islands, their climate, vegetation and geography, so now they seem much less abstract to us. The Sea of Gods is also not only a work about ancient Greek mythology and the islands that were the scene of mythological events, but its chapters are often also short cultural and political histories of those islands, up to the present day, which is why this book is unique and precious in its concept.
