More about the book

Exploring the concept of image-making, the book contrasts the vivid mythological creations of the Greeks with the more abstract and impersonal numina of Roman beliefs. It argues that while Greek mythology thrives due to its rich character and narrative, Roman mythology lacks depth, as it focuses on powers rather than gods with distinct personalities or stories. This analysis highlights the cultural differences in how humanity expresses and understands divinity through imagery.
