Synopsis
Spotlighting examples of classical Greek art in the context of findings in anthropology, social history, psychology, classics & classical archeology, Pandora offers a multifaceted look at women in myth, ritual & daily life in classical Greece. Written to accompany an international traveling exhibition organized by the Walters Art Gallery, this volume examines the imagery of classical Greek marbles, bronzes, terracottas & vases in order to understand how women were perceived & how they lived. Pandora offers a new emphasis on myths dealing with the unmarried maiden & the difficulty of the transition to marriage & motherhood--as exemplified in the stories of Danae, Thetis, Atalanta & Amymone. Also explored are images of containers & wild animals as metaphors for women; rituals involving women, such as the wedding & the cult of the Little Bears at Brauron; the character & cult of goddesses & the association of women with textiles.

From the Back Cover
"A delightful book on the myth. The Panofskys tell how the myth has been transformed both by the fantasy and by the mistakes of modern artists and writers from the Renaissance to the present day. Not only do they do so, vividly and sometimes wittily, but they give us sixty pictures ranging all the way from an exquisite Benvenuto Cellini sculpture to a percipient but loathsome Paul Klee still life."--Gilbert Highet
Review
"On one level this is a superior anthology of Pandoras both literary and visual, but on another it is a genuine history, at least as much a work of iconology as of iconography."--The Times Literary Supplement
