This volume brings together twenty contributions (six of them to a Roundtable organized by Anton Bierl on myth), originally presented at the Fourth International Conference on the Ancient novel (ICAN IV) held in Lisbon in July 2008. Employing an interdisciplinary approach and putting together different methodological tools (intertextual, psychological, and anthropological), each offers a illuminating investigation of mythical discourse as presented in the text or texts under discussion. The collection as a whole demonstrates the exemplary and transgressive significance of myth and its metaphorical meaning in a genre that to some extent can be considered a modernized and secular form of myth that focuses on the quintessential question of love. 410 0$aMythosEikonPoiesis ;$vBd. 6. 606 $aGreek fiction$xHistory and criticism 606 $aMythology in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGreek fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aMythology in literature. 676 $a883/.0109 701 $aBeck$b Roger$f1937-$0167146 701 $aBierl$b Anton$f1960-$0157367 701 $aFutre Pinheiro$b M$g(Mari?lia)$0736890 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463832903321 996 $aIntende, lector$92448746 997 $aUNINA
