Classical Antiquity is strongly present in youth culture globally. It accompanies
children during their initiation into adulthood and thereby deepens their knowledge
of the cultural code based on the Greek and Roman heritage. It enables intergenerational
communication, with the reception of the Classics being able to serve as a marker
of transformations underway in societies the world over. The team of contributors
from Europe, North America, Africa, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand focusses on the
reception of mythical creatures as the key to these transformations, including the
changes in human mentality. The volume gathers the results of a project supported
by an Alexander von Humboldt Foundation Alumni Award for Innovative Networking Initiatives.
Thanks to the multidisciplinary character of its research (Classics, Modern Philologies,
Animal Studies) and to the universal importance of the theme of childhood, the volume
offers stimulating reading for scholars, students, and educators, as well for a wider
audience
