In Greek Myths: Heroes and Heroines, classicist and writer Jean Menzies has brought together eleven retellings of famous Greek Myths from the late 19th and early twentieth centuries. The result? An enlightening and lively volume of stories and a treat for all fans of the Greek Mythology.
Greek Myths have been part of Western culture since they were first set down by the ancients. The fact that there is no one definitive account means that through the centuries the stories have been ripe for reinterpretation according to the politics and fashions of the time. In this book, with stories written by the likes of Andrew and Jean Lang, Thomas Bullfinch and H A Guerber, each story has been chosen for its clarity and vivacity.
