Reader's note

Like all other myths, those of the Greeks originally related to specific religious, philosophical, cultural and social ideas. In a metaphorical and poetic way, they offered not so much answers to particular questions as ways of beginning to think about answers - and the questions had to do with the nature of the universe, the relationship between human beings and the supernatural, the reasons for certain customs or ways of behaviour and the self-image of this or that community. For adherents of particular cults or citizens of specific areas, myths offered a communal viewpoint, a focus for thought; they put people in touch not only with one another’s minds but with those of their forebears and ancestors; they validated each present moment in terms of a much wider picture, both in time and space - they were a binding force.
