520    "What's in a name? Using the example of a famous monster 
       from Greek myth, this book challenges the dominant view 
       that a mythical symbol denotes a single, clear-cut 
       'figure' and proposes instead to conceptualize the name 
       'Scylla' as a combination of three concepts - sea, dog and
       woman - whose articulation changes over time. While 
       archaic and classical Greek versions usually emphasize the
       metaphorical coherence of Scylla's various components, the
       name is increasingly treated as a well-defined but also 
       paradoxical construct from the late fourth century BCE 
       onward. Proceeding through detailed analyses of Greek and 
       Roman texts and images, Professor Hopman shows how the 
       same name can variously express anxieties about the sea, 
       dogs, aggressive women and shy maidens, thus offering an 
       empirical response to the semiotic puzzle raised by non-
       referential proper names"--|cProvided by publisher.
