[New Release] Daily Life as Greek and Roman Mythology, The Lineage of Resistance
A new interpretation of Greek and Roman mythology by an author who is a former graphic designer is attracting attention.
It has been praised for re-creating classical myths, which were previously dealt with in heavy academic approaches in traditional humanities books, as familiar stories in daily life.
This book, featuring illustrations drawn by the author, is characterized by bringing Greek and Roman mythology closer to our daily lives. It vividly captures artistic works depicting the forms of gods found around the world, as well as the traces of mythology deeply embedded in Western culture.
The book includes meticulously crafted maps along with natural landscapes, helping readers understand the content. The author guides readers through the intricate corners of the complex mythological world with a tone reminiscent of warm old stories told by a grandfather and with the pure, inquisitive eyes of a young boy.
The reason this book does not merely offer a friendly approach is due to the author's profound expertise. Han Ho-rim, the author, has spent a lifetime studying Greek and Roman mythology, and has accumulated unique mastery through traveling around the world. This distinctive expertise is fully reflected in the book.
The strength of this book lies in providing deep interpretations that are difficult to obtain through simple information searches in the AI era. The author clearly organizes and presents the complex world of myths, offering a broad perspective similar to how a drone would survey an entire area, illustrating the interrelationships among the gods.
At the same time, it thoroughly explores detailed aspects such as why a particular myth came to be perceived in that way, and how it has now taken on certain symbolic meanings. Through this approach, readers can naturally experience the pleasure of understanding and connecting with the context.
As the individual scenes from the myths, which had previously been scattered, come together like a puzzle, readers soon grasp the overall picture of the entire myth. This book serves as an efficient guide to understanding Greek and Roman mythology.
