In this concise but wide-ranging study, Luc Brisson describes how the myths of Greece and Rome were transmitted from antiquity to the Renaissance. He argues that philosophy was responsible for saving myth from historical annihilation. Although philosophy was initially critical of myth, mythology was progressively reincorporated into philosophy through allegory. Brisson reveals how philosophers employed allegory and how it enabled myth to take on a number of different interpretive systems throughout the centuries: moral, physical, psychological, political, and even metaphysical.

The book is very technical. I found it pretty hard to follow. The author is so well versed in Greco-Roman literature but apparently I myself am not. My Bible professor recommended me to read it to understand church fathers' historical context and how they shared allegorical interpretations with the philosophers seeking a higher meaning in the text.
