Edith Hamilton's exciting retelling for young readers brings to life the adventures of ancient heroes and heroines that have long shaped the images of our culture. The great merit of the renowned expert Hamilton lies in her ability to categorize the traditional myths into thematic areas, which place the individual tales in a broader context. A comprehensive index and genealogical charts make this book a valuable reference work for anyone looking to quickly grasp the essence of specific myths. The world of Roman and Greek legends is complemented by a summary of the most important Norse myths.
