Classic, Accessible Guide to World Mythology

First published in 1855, Bulfinch's Mythology has introduced generations of readers to the great myths of Greece and Rome, as well as Arthurian legend, and medieval romance.

Written so that everyone can enjoy these enchanting tales, this approachable volume of ancient legends has remained one of the most trusted English-language interpretations of its kind. Included are the works of Homer, Ovid, Virgil, and other classical authors, stories about the Norse gods and heroes, as well as lively tales of the Greek and Roman gods, including Venus and Adonis, Jupiter and Juno, Daphne and Apollo, and many others.

Bulfinch weaves various versions of a tale into a coherent whole. Readers love his dynamic storytelling, and his abundant references to poetry and painting, as he demonstrates the relationship of literature and art.

If you have trouble keeping all your gods and goddesses straight, or are wondering about mythological references in classic literature, this is the book for you. Bullfinch presents the legends of the world for everyday people who want to supplement their knowledge, increase their appreciation and understanding of Western culture, and enjoy the myths purely as the great stories they are.
