MythologyMythologyFrom The Publisher:
Mythology - one of the great bestselling books of all time, Edith Hamilton's
world-renowned classic has become the standard by which all other books
in the field are compared. 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.
