SynopsisThe 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.

It appears to be relevant.
Although it was used, I didn't expect it to be in perfect condition. However, having the previous owner's name on the outside of the pages in 3 places seemed a bit much. When I ordered the book I asked for "Iliad" and it was only mentioned on p. 10. On the positive side, Edith Hamilton is a recognized author on this period of Greek history, so I think her Mythology" will help me understand the Greek ruins better on an upcoming tripBestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
