Description
The stories of the Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Greece are sprawling, dramatic and strange. Lives intertwine and behaviours fluctuate wildly from benevolent to violent, from didactic to fickle, from loving to enraged. In this beautifully bound edition, Jean Menzies sets out to capture the magic of these stories and to make sense of the mythological world. Drawing on a wide variety of retellings, Menzies brings to life the stories of Zeus, Athena, Poseidon, Hermes, Pandora and many more. With an entertaining commentary to guide the reader through them, this book is the perfect introduction to the world of the Greek deities. The stories of Greek Myths have been part of Western culture since they were first set down by the ancients, ripe for reinterpretation according to the politics and fashions of the time.
