Description:
A good introduction to Greek and Roman mythology based largely on literary works, although with some mention of art and architecture. The authors divide their subject according to the myths of creation, the Greek sagas, the nature of Roman mythology and the survival of Classical mythology. Excerpts from ancient sources are translated into English. This eighth edition contains extra material, new maps and illustrations. For such a massive book, it is also exceptionally well priced.
