The Survival of the Pagan Gods

by Jean Seznec · Barbara F. Sessions (trans.)

Seznec's study, first published in French in 1940, shows how the classical gods survived the Middle Ages through historical, moral and astrological traditions and re-emerged in Renaissance art. It covers mythographers, astrological manuscripts and handbooks. A foundational work of art history.
