Using the example of a famous monster from Greek myth, this book challenges the dominant view that a mythical symbol denotes a single, clear-cut 'figure' and proposes instead to define the name 'Scylla' as a combination of three concepts - sea, dog and woman - whose articulation changes over time. While archaic and classical Greek versions usually emphasize the metaphorical coherence of Scylla's components, the name is increasingly treated as a well-defined but also paradoxical construct from the late fourth century BCE onward. Proceeding through detailed analyses of Greek and Roman texts and images, Professor Hopman shows how the same name can variously express anxieties about the sea, dogs, aggressive women and shy maidens, thus offering an empirical response to the semiotic puzzle raised by non-referential proper names. 606 $aScylla and Charybdis (Greek mythology) 606 $aMonsters in literature 606 $aMonsters in art 615 0$aScylla and Charybdis (Greek mythology) 615 0$aMonsters in literature. 615 0$aMonsters in art. 676 $a292.1/3 686 $aHIS000000$2bisacsh 700 $aHopman$b Marianne Govers$f1974-$01555402 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779439103321 996 $aScylla$93817260 997 $aUNINA
