Did the Greeks Believe in Their Myths?: An Essay on the Constitutive Imagination

"[Veyne's] present book has some kinship with his sprightly theoretical work Comment on ecrit l'histoire; and he declares that its aim was to provoke reflection on the way our conception of truth is built up and changes over the centuries. . . . The style is brilliant and exhilarating."-Jasper Griffin, Times Literary Supplement
