Classical Mythology in Shakespeare is a book authored by Robert Kilburn Root that explores the use of classical mythology in the plays of William Shakespeare. The book delves into the various ways in which Shakespeare incorporated the myths and legends of ancient Greece and Rome into his works, including the characters, themes, and motifs that he borrowed from these ancient sources.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a specific aspect of classical mythology in Shakespeare's plays. These include the role of the gods and goddesses, the use of mythological creatures such as faeries and witches, and the influence of classical tragedy on Shakespeare's works.Throughout the book, Root provides detailed analysis and interpretation of Shakespeare's use of classical mythology, drawing on both literary and historical sources to shed light on the ways in which these ancient stories were adapted and transformed in Shakespeare's hands. The book also includes numerous examples and illustrations from Shakespeare's plays, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the intersection of classical mythology and literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
