Excerpt from Classic Myths in Art

Certain gods and heroes naturally became favourites with the painters, while others were hardly ever represented. There fore, one cannot study mythology systematically from the pictures of the Renaissance, but one can, by studying the pictures of the Renaissance, discover what features in the old legends had predominated and survived with perennial interest for the later students of classic myth.
