English How philosophers saved myths : allegorical interpretation and classical mythology / Luc Brisson ; translated by Catherine Tihanyi. Chicago : University of Chicago Press, 2004. 1 online resource (xiv, 206 pages) text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier data file Includes bibliographical references (pages 167-199) and index. Muthos and philosophia -- Plato's attitude toward myth -- Aristotle and the beginnings of allegorical exegesis -- Stoics, Epicureans, and the New Academy -- Pythagoreanism and Platonism -- The Neoplatonic school of Athens -- Byzantium and the pagan myths -- The Western Middle Ages -- The Renaissance. Translated from the French. In this concise but wide-ranging study, Luc Brisson describes how the myths of Greece and Rome were transmitted from antiquity to the Renaissance. He argues that philosophy was responsible for saving myth from historical annihilation. Although philosophy was initially critical of myth, mythology was progressively reincorporated into philosophy through allegory. Brisson reveals how philosophers employed allegory and how it enabled myth to take on a number of different interpretive systems throughout the centuries: moral, physical, psychological, political, and even metaphysical.
