Adrienne Mayor

Adrienne Mayor in 2019 Adrienne Mayor (born ) is a historian of ancient science and a classical folklorist.

Mayor specializes in ancient history and the study of "folk science", or how pre-scientific cultures interpreted data about the natural world, and how these interpretations form the basis of many ancient myths, folklore and popular beliefs. Her work in pre-scientific fossil discoveries and traditional interpretations of paleontological remains has opened up a new field within the emerging discipline of geomythology and classical folklore. Mayor's book, ''Greek Fire, Poison Arrows, & the Scorpion Bombs'', on the origins of biological and chemical warfare revealed the ancient roots of poison weaponry and tactics. Provided by Wikipedia
