Celebrated for its accessible yet scholarly approach, this edition features rich illustrations and remains a top-rated bestseller with over 5,300 reviews. Essential for anyone seeking to understand the cultural roots of Western storytelling and art. ## Description The world-renowned classic that has enthralled and delighted millions of readers with its timeless tales of gods and heroes. Edith Hamilton's mythology succeeds like no other book in bringing to life for the modern reader the Greek, Roman and Norse myths that are the keystone of Western culture-the stories of gods and heroes that have inspired human creativity from antiquity to the present. We follow the drama of the Trojan War and the wanderings of Odysseus. We hear the tales of Jason and the Golden Fleece, Cupid and Psyche, and mighty King Midas. We discover the origins of the names of the constellations. And we recognize reference points for countless works for art, literature and culture inquiry--from Freud's Oedipus complex to Wagner's Ring Cycle of operas to Eugene O'Neill's Mourning Becomes Electra. Both a reference text for scholars of all ages and a book to simply enjoy, Mythology is a classic not to be missed. Review: If you're thinking of buying this for use in University, do. - This book tells many myths from lots of different myth systems very well, briefly but in great detail and the commentary isn't overbearing and rle imbues the tellings with a little spark. So far I've read Norse Gods and the Adventures of Odysseus for my Myth course at Uni and they're really helping my wider reading without bogging me down in excessive reading. Review: Excellent - I have bought this to replace my copy which is now falling apart due to frequent use. This is an excellent compendium of Greek, Roman and ( some) Norse and Germanic myths and legends and written in a readable style. too ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 181,428 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 81 in Greek & Roman Myths & Legends for Young Adults 231 in Folklore (Books) 1,981 in Other Religions | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 5,342 Reviews | ## Images ![Mythology: Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes, 75th Anniversary Illustrated Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71qb+CN8ZrL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you're thinking of buying this for use in University, do. *by J***D on 11 October 2012* This book tells many myths from lots of different myth systems very well, briefly but in great detail and the commentary isn't overbearing and rle imbues the tellings with a little spark.
