| Introduction | Modern artists work with classical mythological allusions as they would work with metaphors. A classical myth may enter a narrative introducing all or some of the thematic shorthand inherent in the classical myth. While archetypal allusions are interesting, my interests have me looking for overt allusions to classical myths. |
