The Greek Myths
Overview
The Greek Myths contains some of the most thrilling, romantic and unforgettable stories in all human history. From Achilles rampant on the fields of Troy, to the gods at sport on Mount Olympus; from Icarus flying too close to the sun, to the superhuman feats of Heracles, Theseus and the wily Odysseus, these timeless tales exert a fascination and inspiration that have endured for millennia.
Beginning at the dawn of human civilization, when the Titan Prometheus stole fire from Zeus and offered hope to mankind, the reader is immediately immersed in the majestic and magical world of the Greek gods and heroes. As the tales unfold, renowned classicist Robin Waterfield, joined by writer Kathryn Waterfield, creates a sweeping panorama of the romance, intrigues, heroism, humour, sensuality and brutality of the Greek myths and legends.
Featuring over 120 images of remarkable variety and beauty, The Greek Myths also reveals the enduring impact the myths have had on Western art and culture. The terrible curse that plagued the royal houses of Mycenae and Thebes, Jason and the golden fleece, Perseus and the dread Gorgon, the Wooden Horse and the sack of Troy - these and the many other amazing stories included here have had a decisive influence on literature and civilization from the Iron Age to the present day.
