Featuring new translations, this volume differs from most texts on classical myth by putting the divine myths and principal legends of the Greeks in the contexts- anthropological, historical, religious, sociological, and economic- from which they emerged, including their debt to the Near East. Interspersed are short essays on the later history of the myths and their importance to writers, artists, musicians, and philosophers down to our times. The many illustrations from ancient works of art show how the myths are visualized. The book concludes with a history of later ideas on classical myth, demonstrating their importance for us today. -- from Back Cover.

Mythology is an integral part of the world in which we live. For millennia, people have used myths to entertain, share important truths, and explain their ideas about the way the world worked. Myths are stories that deal with supernatural beings, history, or heroes and display the worldview of a culture. Myths allow us to see what a people believed in, what they admired, and how they thought everything had started. Mythology is the study of these myths and how they affect the world.

The World of Mythology series introduces the myths of the world's greatest civilizations. The Classical world of ancient Greece and Rome has had an immeasurable impact on Western culture, but what inspired some of the greatest writers, philosophers, and architects of all time? Gods were not only worshipped, but consulted for both minor problems and victory in battle. The legends of mortals Heracles and Perseus were wrapped up in the lives of the immortals. Art and artifacts, as well as photographs of the landscapes immortalized in the tales, bring the world of Classical myth to life.
