The Greek Myths: (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition)

The Greek Myths by Robert Graves is an extraordinary work that retells the classic Greek legends for a modern audience.

With a wealth of knowledge and insight, Graves demonstrates that these myths are no more mysterious than modern election cartoons.

The book is filled with harmonious narratives, variants, full references to classical sources, copious indexes, and a full commentary on each myth that explains and interprets the classical version in light of today's archaeological and anthropological knowledge.
