    Originally published in 1862, this classic volume recounts tales of mythological Greek gods and heroes.Sample chapter titles (30 chapters in all):The Vengeance of ApolloThe Toils of HeraclesIo and PrometheusPoseidon and AthenaNarcissusThe Lotos-EatersOdysseus and CalypsoSample passage:Echo saw and loved the beautiful Narcissus; but the youth cared not for the maiden of the hills, and his heart was cold to the words of her love, for he mourned for his sister whom Hermes had taken away beyond the Stygian river. Day by day he sat alone by the stream side, sorrowing for the bright maiden whose life was bound up with his own, because they had seen the light of the sun in the selfsame day; and thither came Echo and sat down by his side, and sought in vain to win his love. “Look on me and see,” she said; “I am fairer than the sister for whom thou dost mourn.” But Narcissus answered her not, for he knew that the maiden would ever have something to say against his words. So he sat silent and looked down into the stream, for there he saw his own face in the clear water, and it was to him as the face of his sister for whom he pined away in sorrow; and his grief became less bitter as he seemed to see again her soft blue eye, and almost to hear the words which came from her lips.Note: The original physical edition of this book contains a Preface, an Introduction, and End Notes; they are not included in this Kindle edition.About the Author:Sir George William Cox (1827-1902) was a British historian and scholar.

    Edith Hamilton, Suzanne Toren

    Audio CD (Hachette Book Group, March 1, 2013)
    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 meet the Greek gods on Olympus and Norse gods in Valhalla. 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 of art, literature, and cultural inquiry-from Freud's Oedipus complex to Wagner's Ring Cycle of operas to Eugene O'Neill's Mourning Becomes Electra. Praised throughout the world for its authority and lucidity, Mythology is Edith Hamilton's masterpiece-the standard by which all other books on mythology are measured.
