DESCRIPTION:What do Iron Man and Odysseus have in common? This question li
 es at the heart of Professor Peter Meineck’s new book, TONY STARK, ODYSS
 EUS, AND THE MYTHS BEHIND MARVEL: Ancient Heroes in the Modern World. This
  exciting nonfiction work bridges the gap between modern superheroes and a
 ncient legends, offering a fresh perspective on why these blockbuster stor
 ies resonate so deeply with contemporary audiences. This book asks the ul
 timate question: what do our modern myths say about us? By weaving mytholo
 gy into its narratives, the book shows how Marvel not only entertains but 
 also educates, reminding readers of the enduring power of stories to shape
  our understanding of the world. It is a rollicking journey from the legen
 ds of old to the pop-culture phenomena of today, inviting readers to explo
 re the hero within themselves. Peter Meineck holds the endowed chair of P
 rofessor of Classics in the Modern World at New York University. He holds 
 a PhD in Classics, has published widely on ancient performance, and has be
 en teaching mythology for nearly thirty years.
