Sculptors didn't just illustrate myths; they actively interpreted and shaped narratives of gods, heroes, and mythical creatures. The book investigates how these sculptures reflect the beliefs and values of civilizations, offering insights into their spiritual and social landscapes.

Did you know that Greek sculptors often idealized the human form in depictions of deities like Zeus, while Egyptian sculpture focused on symbolic representations of pharaohs and gods such as Ra? The book progresses from introducing core mythological concepts to examining specific traditions like Greek, Roman, and Egyptian, detailing their impact on sculptural practices.

By analyzing iconic sculptures alongside historical texts and archaeological findings, ""Myths in Sculpture"" provides a comprehensive overview. It also connects to religious studies and classical literature, offering a balanced perspective on interpreting mythological sculptures and their continuing relevance in modern art and culture.
