书籍简介

卡德摩斯与哈莫尼的婚礼是最后一次奥林匹斯的众神与人类一起盛宴。在此之前，以及之后的几代人所发生的事情，形成了古希腊神话中永恒的故事。在罗伯特·卡拉索对我们自以为了解的神话的娴熟复述中，他阐明了我们存在的最深层问题。

'It will be read and re-read not as a treatise but as a story: one of the most extraordinary that has ever been written of the origins of Western self-consciousness' Simon Schama

The marriage of Cadmus and Harmony was the last time the gods of Olympus feasted alongside mortals. What happened in the distant ages preceding it, and in the generations that followed, form the timeless tales of ancient Greek mythology. In this masterful retelling of the myths we think we know, Roberto Calasso illuminates the deepest questions of our existence.

'The kind of book one comes across only once or twice in one's lifetime' Joseph Brodsky

'A perfect work like no other' Gore Vidal
