I had to work for almost a year to even get this book.
I got it for the essay containing iconological similarities
between the standard gorgo face and that of dionysos in what they call 'eye-cups'.. these are cups that show you the face of medusa at the bottom when the wine is gone.. There's a lot more
information than that in this. This is part of all that amazing
French Greek scholarship as proto-typed by Jean-Pierre Vernant
(at least to me), and people like your Berards and Frontisi-Ducrouxs.. The French scholarship is willing to take certain risks which I find very poetically minded and basically very enjoyable to read.
