Description
Excerpt from Classical Mythology in Shakespeare
The term classical mythology has been taken to include not only the divinities of the ancient religion and such tales as those of Ovid''s Metamorphoses, but also the heroes of the Trojan war and the personages of the Eneid. In a number of cases, such, for example, as Fortune, Nature, and Fame, it has not been easy to draw a hard and fast line between mythology and mere philosophical personification. In Part First, where the myths are discussed severally, I have been inclined to include such subjects, while excluding them as doubtful from the generalizations Of Part Second and the Introduction.
