Rezensionen

"The Etruskian embodiments of the Greek myths in alto-relievo and statues make possible to reconstruct their lost elements unattested in the available corpus of the Greek mythology. Especially, the reflections of the Greek concepts on the Next
World in the Etruskian iconography are of a great importance.
The book includes the catalogue of photographs (305) with a fuil bibliography. lt is published in a high typographical form and is nicely designed..
The publication will be useful for the ethnographers, art critics, historians of religion and culture in general."
