Omschrijving

Greek mythology is the foundation of a vast amount of Western literature, art, philosophy, and cultural reference. This book presents the myths as they were actually told in the ancient sources, covering the major gods, heroes, monsters, and stories in their original complexity. Written for an adult readership, it is more thorough and less simplified than most popular introductions to the subject.

Drawing on Homer, Hesiod, Ovid, and other classical sources, the book covers the Olympian gods and their relationships, the great heroic cycles from Perseus to Heracles and Odysseus, the Trojan War, and the creation myths that formed the Greek understanding of the cosmos. It also addresses what the myths meant to the people who told them and how they were used in religious, political, and artistic life throughout ancient Greece.
