Book Synopsis The Language of the Muses by : Miranda Marvin
Book excerpt: Since the Renaissance, it has been generally accepted that almost all Roman sculptures depicting ideal figures were copies of Greek originals. This text traces the origin of this idea to the academic belief in the mythical perfection of now-lost Greek art.
