Centaurs and Snake-Kings. Hybrids and the Greek Imagination, Hardback/***

Combining scholarship with readability, Jeremy McInerney's wide-ranging, stimulating new book uncovers the complexity and potency of ancient hybridity. Hybrids, McInerney reveals, confuse categories and so challenge categorical thinking and underlying certainties. Classical Greek hybrids force us to ask ourselves what separates humans from animals.
