For several decades, this book is rightfully called the best work on mythology and art. The historical art monograph “Myths in the Art of the Old and New” was first published in Russian in 1900 in St. Petersburg. The book was an abbreviated translation of the Antiquity Art of 1878. The author is Reneer Menar, a famous French artist and expert on art. The book The Art of Antiquity was perfectly illustrated. Most of these wonderful engravings are presented in the book that you are holding in your hands.
. Menar is the first of the scientists who not only retold ancient myths, but also managed to find their reflection in art. It defines mythology as a “poetic language”, which is used by ancient peoples to explain natural phenomena.

This book provides an opportunity to “return to the root cause of art”, gives accurate knowledge of mythology and ensures the correct understanding of works of art.
. The book is written very exciting and available for a wide range of readers. It can be used as a reference book in Greek, Roman and Egyptian mythology
