Elaborate facsimile journal of a Greek mythology primer from the early nineteenth century.
In the twenty-first century, we have long left behind the political and religious framework in which these stories first circulated—but their power endures.
Beyond the gods and goddesses of Ancient Greek, Roman, and Norse myths, this book delves into the stories of the Australian aborigines, the Cherokee, and the Aztecs, each brimming with amazing characters and insights into human existence.
Discusses the origins, plots, themes, and influences of Greek myths; outlines the relationships between the gods, mortals, and their offspring; and includes maps showing the locations of the different stories.
These stories can do more than just entertain; they can also inspire and teach us lessons that were penned by the Greeks themselves.
