Product Review
Calame's faultless analysis convinces us that what for us is myth was for the Greeks nothing but the telling of 'les événements constitutifs du passé de sa propre culture; mieux, de sa propre cité'. . . . [T]he lucidity of his arguments and the answers he provides to many of the problems posed by Greek literary tradition cannot be denied.

Product Review
This is an important book, especially in its magisterial demonstration of how discourse analysis can be applied to the intertextual and anthropological study of Greek myth, in this case the foundation of Cyrene. It should be required reading by anyone doing work at the graduate and professional levels in the fields of mythology, cultural poetics, and Greek colonization.
