    Herakles: Ancient References


    Bibliography

    This bibliography, which I originally put together for Prof. Joe Farrell's Penn graduate seminar on "Classical Myth and Its Reception" should provide a fairly good idea of the range of work generated on the behalf of only one, albeit perhaps the most popular, figure in Greek (and Roman) mythology. As you will see, much of it is quite recent (within the last decade or so).

    Update: (six years after I concocted this page) I am no longer pursuing this avenue of study, for which reason I will no longer be updating this page.

Abstract: Classic Western myths reflect social mores andÊhave helped define concepts of masculinity and behavior throughout history. Myths such as the Green Man and Odysseus offer an alternative view of gender roles and male identity.ÊWhile stories of Heracles and Oedipus can offer detrimental messages to men concerning family andÊprofession, others serve as transformative messages of social &personal change.

Abstract: A series of inversions, revisions, obversions andÊsubversions of the family romance is examined. The root, which manifests the first awareness of adultery is theÊchild's desire for a different father, the obvert of which is the desire for a divine child. This myth of love triangleÊpersists throughout the ages in many versions: Herakles is the most well-known, with Zeus as "biological" father andÊAmphitryon as social father.
    • Mayor, Adrienne "Fiery finery: in ancient legends the combustible cloak was a weapon for exacting revenge." Archaeology 50 n2 (March-April 1997) 54f. Abstract Greek legends of combustible robes may have a basis in fact as well as reflecting social anxieties concerning women's control of the textile arts, which often involved handling dangerous substances. Volatile substances such as petroleum products, sulphur and lime were commonly used for making clothing and could have caused garments to burst into flame, as in the tales associated with Herakles and Medea. In addition, the 'tunica molesta,' a shirt impregnated with naphtha and set afire, was used as a punishment for criminals by ancient Greeks and Romans.
