The collection "Métamorphoses du mythe en Grèce antique" edited by Claude Calame explores the evolution and transformation of myths in ancient Greece through various scholarly articles. Contributors analyze specific myths, such as that of Meleager and Iphis, examining their adaptability and reinterpretation across different contexts, particularly from Greek to Roman narratives. The essays highlight shifts in religious significance, narrative techniques, and the embedding of myths within subsequent mythologies, ultimately showcasing the nuanced interplay between myth and its many retellings.
