Summary
"The mythology of ancient Greek and Rome has fascinated people for thousands of years, and its influence on cultures throughout the world attests to the universal appeal of its stories. Encyclopedia of Greek and Roman Mythology examines the best-known figures of Greek and Roman mythology together with the great works of classic literature that are the sources for our understanding of mythology." "The result is a book that presents ancient mythology in the light of ancient literature, rather than as an independent set of stories abstracted from the context of their telling. This new encyclopedia also features numerous illustrations from both ancient and modern works of fine art to show how myths have been transmitted in visual form through the ages." "Entries include: Greek and Roman gods and heroes, such as Athena, Achilles, Apollo, Heracles, Odysseus, Orpheus, Poseidon, and Zeus
mythological creatures, such as Cerberus, the Gorgons, the Minotaur, and Pegasus
and great works of literature that provide the sources for classical mythology."--BOOK JACKET
