In The Sea in the Greek Imagination , Marie-Claire Beaulieu unifies the multifarious representations of the sea and sea-crossing in Greek myth and imagery by positing the sea as a cosmological boundary between the worlds of the living, the dead, and the gods, or between reality and imagination.


Marie-Claire Beaulieu teaches classics at Tufts University.
