{"product_id":"9789004100770","title":"Early Amazons","description":"The Early Amazons offers a new understanding of the ancient Amazon myth, situating mythical representations in the realm of cultural history.The first section examines how the Amazons have presented a challenge to views on history, myth and gender in classical mythology from the late eighteenth century up to the impact of structuralism. Topics included are nineteenth-century historiography and the interest in linguistics.The second section sheds new light on the culture of archaic Greece, offering a coherent assessment of literary and visual representations. Taking mythical narrative as a form of oral storytelling, it shows the emergence of the Amazon motif and its meaning in the world of epic. Iconographical analysis reveals how the visual arts have made a contribution of their own to the imaginary presence of the Amazons.","brand":"Josine Blok","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47512531501374,"sku":"9789004100770","price":16111.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9789004100770.jpg?v=1707781044","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9789004100770","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
