The world-renowned classic that has enthralled and delighted millions of readers with its timeless tales of gods and heroes.Edith Hamiltons Mythology succeeds like no other book in bringing to life for the modern reader the Greek, Roman, and Norse myths that are the keystone of Western culture--the stories of gods and heroes that have inspired human creativity from antiquity to the present.

We hear the tales of Jason and the Golden Fleece, Cupid and Psyche, and mighty King Midas. We discover the origins of the names of the constellations. And we recognize reference points for countless works of art, literature, and cultural inquiry--from Freuds Oedipus complex to Wagners Ring Cycle of operas to Eugene ONeills Mourning Becomes Electra. Praised throughout the world for its authority and lucidity, Mythology is Edith Hamiltons masterpiece--the standard by which all other books on mythology are measured.
