Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good+. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. Corner creasing to a couple of pages. DJ flap creased. Minor shelfwear to DJ. ; Drawing upon extensive illustrations, the first portion of Silens in Attic Black-figure Vase-painting explores the narrative content of the many representations of silens. These artistic depictions are the most important surviving source of information about the mythology of silens, and they have not previously been studied from this perspective. The second portion of this volume considers the representation of satyr-plays on Athenian vases. The early history of this intriguing dramatic genre has always been problematic, and the evidence that the author presents will inspire critical reexamination. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 272 pages.
