By studying the impressive series of myths that are presented in this book, all pertinent to justice rendering, and the way those myths were dealt with and created anew by the ancient Greek writers of the Homeric times and the later antiquity, as well as the great political, social and intellectual transitions that within the centuries conduced to a change regarding the feeling of justice in Ancient Greece, the reader is able to realize that mythology does not ignore the historic reality but is instead recreated each time based on it. And in parallel, it has the ability to follow the illustration of the particular myths in the ancient art works.
