Anyone teaching Classical Mythology will find Gabriel’s discussions of these Greek tales useful ways to connect classroom lectures and discussion with contemporary issues such as climate change, immigration and border control. * Classical Journal * This engaging and thoughtful book shows us how the Greek myths remain as relevant today as they did in the days of Homer. It is a timely demonstration that the global challenges we face today are the same as those faced by our ancestors and the stories they told continue to suggest ways we might navigate through society’s current difficulties. -- Michael Wilson, Professor of Drama, Loughborough University, UK Myths and traditional tales – whether spoken, written or sung – were the cultural DNA of the ancient Greeks. Thanks to creative re-interpreters, such as the learned and enlightened Yiannis Gabriel, they can continue to be so for a vastly different contemporary world. -- Paul Cartledge, Emeritus A.G. Leventis Professor of Greek Culture, University of Cambridge, UK
