Description:
The transformation of human beings to animals, plants, and stones is one of the commonest, and most characteristic themes of Greek mythology. In the first study of the subject in English, Dr Forbes Irving examines what is of most interest in Greek myths - their appeal as stories. He attempts to analyse the various ways in which these stories imagine and explore what it means for a person to change his or her form.
