About this ebook
The mythology of any people is interesting because it reflects their individual nature and developing life; that of the Greeks is more interesting to us than any other, firstly because it expresses the nature of a people gifted with a peculiarly fine and artistic soul; secondly, because our own thought and art are, in great part, a heritage from the civilization of Greece. Much of this heritage comes to us quite directly from the Greek writers and artists whose works have been preserved. This book is a unique guide into the world of Greek gods and heroes. In a simple yet very interesting way, "Greek and Roman Mythology" brings the fascinating stories of the classical mythology which shaped the thought and artistic expression of the entire Western civilization. _x000D_ Contents:_x000D_ The Gods_x000D_ The World of the Myths_x000D_ The Gods of Olympus: Zeus_x000D_ Hera, Athena, Hephæstus_x000D_ Apollo and Artemis_x000D_ Hermes and Hestia_x000D_ Ares and Aphrodite_x000D_ The Lesser Deities of Olympus_x000D_ The Gods of the Sea_x000D_ The Gods of the Earth_x000D_ The World of the Dead_x000D_ The Heroes_x000D_ Stories of Argos_x000D_ Heracles (Hercules)_x000D_ Stories of Crete, Sparta, Corinth, and Aetolia_x000D_ Stories of Attica_x000D_ Stories of Thebes_x000D_ The Argonautic Expedition_x000D_ The Trojan War_x000D_ The Wanderings of Odysseus_x000D_ The Tragedy of Agamemnon_x000D_ The Legendary Origin of Rome_x000D_
