Monsters in Greek Literature: Aberrant Bodies in Ancient Greek Cosmogony, Ethnography, and Biology - Routledge Monographs in Classical Studies
Mitchell, Fiona (University of Birmingham, UK)
Monsters in Greek literature are often thought of as creatures which exist in epic narratives, however, as this book shows, they appear in a much broader range of ancient sources and are used in creation narratives, ethnographic texts, and biology to explore the limits of the human body and of the human world.
