About This Book
Edith Hamilton loved the ancient Western myths with a passion--and this classic
compendium is her tribute. "The tales of Greek mythology do not throw any clear
light upon what early mankind was like," Hamilton explains in her introduction.
"They do throw an abundance of light upon what early Greeks were like--a matter,
it would seem, of more importance to us, who are their descendents
intellectually, artistically, and politically. Nothing we learn about them is
alien to ourselves." Fans of Greek mythology will find all the great stories and
characters here--Perseus, Hercules, and Odysseus--each discussed in generous
detail by the voice of an impressively knowledgeable and engaging (with
occasional lapses) narrator. This is also an excellent primer for middle- and
high-school students who are studying ancient Greek and Roman culture and
literature. --Gail Hudson
