The Greek Myths: The Complete and Definitive Edition

De två beställningar har inte anlänt utan stannat någonstans på vägen!!!

If you're interested in the details of greek mythology, in every aspect of the tales and where they come from, than this is the book for you. If you mostly aim for entertainment, than it is probably not.

This is a wonderful way to dive into Greek mythology. The writing is clear and engaging, making complex stories easy to follow. It is a perfect addition to any library for both beginners and enthusiasts.

I would highly reccommend this book to anyone interested in Classical Mythology; it is comprehensive and is very easy to use. You can use the references to find a specific myth, if you have a particular interest, or read it as an extentended collection of the stories. It contains all of the Greek myths together, and told very well. I would, however, caution academic or literary users, as if you need to know the sources for each myth Graves does not always reference them. For this kind of use, I would reccommend Pierre Grimal's 'Dictionary of Classical Mythology'. The book also contains a map of the Greek world and map showing sites mentioned in the text, helping you visualize and understand the relative geographies of the myths. I really like this book, and after buying my own copy bought one for a friend. A must for lovers of mythology. :D

Educativo.
