This volume is the first monograph in English dedicated to the study of the Greek mythical hero Pelops. While popular in antiquity, Pelops popularity has since faded; this book presents a comprehensive treatment of his character and legacy.

Ancient tradition held that Pelops was the son of Tantalus and the ancestor of the Atreids, Agamemnon and Menelaos, who appear in the Homeric poems as leaders of the Greek forces against Troy. After arriving in Greece from the east, Pelops was eventually worshipped in Olympia, became the eponym of the Peloponnese, and was celebrated as one of the founders of the Olympic Games. However, his character is morally problematic, his family were heavily condemned, and few tales about Pelops exist. Patay-Horvįth takes an interdisciplinary approach to the study of this obscure figure, presenting and analyzing written sources and depictions of Pelops, the etymology of his name, the history of his mythical family, and the afterlife of his myths. Drawing on folklore and ethnography, art and archaeology, linguistics and geography, this volume provides a detailed and accessible overview of both old and new theories about Pelops, his descendants, and his legacy.

Transformations of Pelops is suitable for students and scholars of ancient Greek history and mythology, classical philology, and archaeology.

Recenzijas

"Over the last two decades Andrįs Patay-Horvįth has established himself as the world expert on Pelops, who supposedly gave his name to the Peloponnese. With the publication of this wide-ranging, lucid, skilfully-argued and well-illustrated book, Patay-Horvįths challenging ideas about the hero and his origins (was he once an aurochs?) are brought together for the first time in a convenient and accessible form in English." - Daniel Ogden, University of Exeter

"...This well-researched book offers a substantial challenge to conventional notions of the significance of the myths concerning Pelops and the origin of the Olympic sanctuary, one which scholars in the field will not be able to simply brush aside. ... perhaps its greatest value will lie in its contribution towards stimulating further debate on a topic so vital to our understanding of the origins and significance of the sanctuary of Zeus at Olympia and the development of Greek cult and myth in general." - Bryn Mawr Classical Review
