    About this ebook

    This vintage book contains an informative and accessible exploration of Greek and Roman mythology. From the Titans and the creation of the universe, to the gods and demigods of the ancient world, this volume contains a wealth of information on the vibrant tapestry of Greek and Roman legend. It will be of considerable utility to those with a keen interest in the subject. The chapters of this book include: “The Beginning”, “Zeus”, “Hera”, “Athene”, “Apollo”, “Artemis”, “Aphrodite”, “Hermes”, “Ares”, “Hephaestus”, “Poseidon”, “Pluto”, “Bacchus”, “Demeter and Persephone”, “Hestia”, “Ceyx and Halcyone”, “Aeolus”, “Herakles”, etcetera. Many antiquarian books such as this are increasingly hard to come by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on Greek mythology.
