Books with title The Greek Myths Volume One

Volume 1 of a two volume set. First published in 1955. The scattered elements of each myth have been assembled into a harmonious narrative, and many variants are recorded which may help to determine its ritual or historical meaning. Full references to the classical sources, and copious indices make this book valuable to the scholar and the general reader. A full commentary to each myth explains and interprets the classical version in the light of today's archaeological and anthropological knowledge.
