R. R. Bolgar's The Classical Heritage and its Beneficiaries
(New York, 1954) gives a survey of the transmission and
absorption of ancient culture up to the end of the Renais-
sance. H. Hunger's Lexikon der griechischen und römischen
Mythologie, mit Hinweisen auf das Fortwirken antiker Stoffe
und Motive in der bildenden Kunst, Literatur und Musik
des Abendlandes bis zur Gegenwart (Vienna, 1953) provides
a useful repertory.

antiquity, A. Momigliano, ed., Conflict Between Paganism
and Christianity in the Fourth Century (New York, 1963).
