520 1  "This book examines Greek vase-paintings that depict 
       humorous, burlesque, and irreverent images of Greek 
       mythology and the gods. Many of the images present the 
       gods and heroes as ridiculous and ugly. Although the 
       narrative content of some images may appear to be trivial,
       others address issues that are deeply serious, When placed
       against the background of the religious beliefs and social
       frameworks from which they spring, these images allow us 
       to explore questions relating to their meaning in 
       particular communities. Throughout, we see indications 
       that Greek vase-painters developed their own comedic 
       narratives and visual jokes. The images enhance our 
       understanding of Greek society in just the same way as 
       their more sober siblings in 'serious' art."--Jacket.
