Publisher Description: This generously illustrated book of classical myths has become a classic itself, long prized for its simple, graphic, accurate retelling of the principal myths of Greece and Rome, and for its commentary on their origins and significance. The myths, as H. A. Guerber observes in her preface, have inspired so much of the best thought in English literature that a knowledge of them is often essential to the understanding of what we need. |
