Joseph Eddy Fontenrose
(17 June 1903,
Sutter Creek
– July 1986,
Ashland, Oregon
) was an American classical scholar. He was centrally interested in
Greek religion
and
Greek mythology
; he was also an expert on
John Steinbeck
, commenting on the mythology in Steinbeck's work.
He was from
Sutter Creek, California
. Most of his academic career was spent at
University of California, Berkeley
, where he had graduated in 1925 in Political Science, after an instructor position he held from 1937. An early influence was
Ivan Linforth
. He was made a professor in 1955, chaired the classics department, and became
professor emeritus
.
His politics were known to be
socialist
. He gave public support in the early 1960s to the
Free Speech Movement
and
Young People's Socialist League
. He showed a more conservative side in relation to student activism as it touched teaching.
In his 1966 book, ''The Ritual Theory of Myth'', he subjected the
myth-ritual theory
to an intense attack, targeting the views of some of the associated scholars, particularly
Lord Raglan
and
Stanley Edgar Hyman
.
