The Return of the Golden Age from Antiquity to the 21st Century
This book represents the first reception history of the classical myth of the âGolden Ageâ from Antiquity up until the present. The introduction proposes âGolden Age thinkingâ as a set of connected ideas about the flexible organization of time, morality and divine interventions. The case-studies reveal the different ways this has been and still is being used to promote a particular vision of the future by connecting it to an idealized vision of a lost past. Together they offer a toolkit for understanding this motifâs enduring power, and reconstruct the trajectory during which Greco-Roman antiquity, from being the origin of the Golden Age myth, was transformed into a kind of Golden Age itself.
