Since its initial publication, Edith Hamilton's 'Mythology' has sold tens of millions of copies worldwide, becoming a classic bestseller whose sales continue to grow year after year. The author masterfully adapts Greek, Roman, and Scandinavian myths familiar to every reader from childhood for modern readers. The Trojan War, the journeys of Odysseus, the labors of Hercules, the quest for the Golden Fleece, Zeus, Prometheus, Cupid, Pegasus, Daedalus, Prometheus, Aphrodite, Sigurd, Thor, Odin—the gods and heroes of antiquity come to life in this book. Hamilton draws from a multitude of sources (Homer, Ovid, Hesiod, Pindar, Sophocles, Euripides, Herodotus, Apuleius) to create a coherent picture of events; we see the myths not in fragments, but as clear and complete stories. This is the enchanting world of mythology that will never fade. A full-color anniversary deluxe edition is being released with new illustrations.
