Examines how Christian Europe reimagined pagan myths through the works of artists, writers, philosophers, composers, and scientists including Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Claudio Monteverdi, Galileo Galilei, Johannes Kepler, Francis Bacon, Lucrezia Marinella, and Mary Wroth. Investigates the enduring significance of myth for understanding religion, politics, gender, power, desire, and the imagination.
