Die schönsten Sagen der Antike

Who hasn't heard of them? Of Icarus, who flew too close to the sun, of Arachne, who could weave better than the goddess Pallas Athena? Of the arrogant Sisyphus, of Oedipus and the Sphinx, of the abducted Europa, of the Argonauts in search of the Golden Fleece? Of Prometheus' torment and Pandora's box, of Heracles, Perseus, and Eurydice? Here they are gathered, the most beautiful myths and legends of the Greek world, told according to ancient sources. And Burkhard Neie has created an opulent gift volume with his unique book design and illustrations. A book artistic event! "In the beginning, there was nothing. Only endless wasteland, the cosmos empty, without order or purpose. Then Gaia appeared, the goddess of the earth and mother of all subsequent life. And with her came desire, the most powerful of the archaic forces: Eros.".
