That reminded me that I already had Robert Graves’ book, so I determined to read that instead. He recommended reading Stephen Fry’s books, Mythos and Heroes. The tutor spent a day showing us slides of paintings, and pointing out the references to the Greek Myths embedded within them. In 2019 I attended a one day course entitled “Icons and Iconography” at the Bishopsgate Institute in London. I put it in on my book shelves, where it languished for years, until recently. And yet another was that I’d very foolishly joined a mail order book club, and I had to select something from the catalogue before I had the so-called (and hugely expensive) “book of the Month” foisted upon me. Another reason was that I felt I needed to be more knowledgable about such things. ![]() One was that I enjoyed a pilot episode of I, Claudius, so I assumed that the writing on which it was based must have been pretty good. Many moons ago I bought myself a copy of The Greek Myths, by Robert Graves. ![]()
