Jacob Nuyenhuis has written an insightful account of the territory where art, literature, and myth meet and merge. This book is a maze of ideas that have an impact on the spirit and the imagination.
Chair of the Classics Department, Gustavus Adolphus College - William K. Freiert
Nyenhuis has given us as thorough an exploration of the mind and oeuvres of Ayrton as possible. Probing in its insight and far-ranging in its grasp, Myth and the Creative Process, is an essential tool for understanding the artist, his obsession with the myth of Daedalus, and the labyrinth's significance for contemporary human life."
Distinguished Professor of Classics at Michigan State University - Wm. Blake Tyrrell
Jacob Nyenhuis enters the labyrinth that captivated and liberated Michael Aryton's imagination. He brings back insights from Aryton's works that enrich the understanding of the creative process. Nyenhuis shows that even today, we experience in myths the power to discover reality."
S.u.n.y Distinguished Teaching Professor Emeritus, University at Buffalo - John Peradotto
Nyenhuis' Myth and the Creative Process brings many rich insights to the way in which artists have mined Greek myth for their own work. No one interested in this issue can afford to ignore this fascinating book."
