A keystone of our culture is the body of myth and legend of the ancient Western world--stories of gods and heroes that have inspired human creativity from antiquity to the present day. In Mythology, Edith Hamilton brings this legacy to life anew; with impeccably accurate and accessible retellings of eternally spellbinding tales. We come to know the Greek gods on Olympus and Norse gods in Valhalla. We follow the drama of the Trojan War and the wanderings of Odysseus. We trace the destinies of the Agamemnon and Oedipus dynasties, and get caught up in the fascination of such legends as Jason and the Golden Fleece. Cupid and Psyche, and Medusa. We discover the origin of the names of the constellations in the skies and reference points for countless works of art, literature, and thought. Edith Hamilton's highly acclaimed work has itself become a classic, an indispensable source of vast knowledge, insight, and enjoyment.

Work Description

There has long been a need for the stories of ancient mythology written to appeal to the twentieth-century mind. Edith Hamilton's orderly and lucid presentation of Greek, Roman and Norse mythology promises the casual reader and the avid student a sound, modern and adult key to the foundation stones of world literature. Her years of study of classical literature have already produced notable books and the charm of her writing is well established by THE GREEK WAY and THE ROMAN WAY. She has not been content to be merely a reteller of tales. She has blended and organized the sometimes conflicting myths of the early storytellers, molding them with vivid clarity.

Excerpts

Greek and Roman mythology is quite generally suposed to show us the way the human reace thought and felt untold ages ago.
