Dive into the timeless tales of gods and heroes in this bestselling A-to-Z
encyclopedia detailing classic myths and legends--perfect for curious readers

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.
