Frederic Raphael's "Of Gods and Men" reinterprets key narratives from Greek mythology with a distinct modern sensibility. Published by The Folio Society in 1992, this edition features striking illustrations by Sarah Raphael that offer a fresh visual perspective. The work comprises various forms, including a play, poetry, and short prose, exploring myths such as Oedipus, Narcissus, Daedalus, and the labors of Herakles. Raphael deliberately presents these ancient tales in a style that contrasts with classical rendition, aiming to provide readers with new insights and a contemporary flavor. The book serves as an engaging compendium, highlighting dramatic moments within Greek mythology for both classical scholars and those new to the subject.
