Mythology in Western Art

The object of this project-- Mythmedia--is to form a collection of art images relating to Classical mythology.
This collection consists of scanned images from various periods of Western art which depict the deities, and heroes mentioned in Homer.
The images are classified according to the names of the various deities and heroes.
Mythmedia was prepared in The Library of The University of Haifa by Ora Zehavi, and by Dr. Sonia Klinger from the Department of Art History.
This project is being used in Dr. Klinger's course: Mythology in Western Art at the Department of Art History.
