About this ebook
'This was the slaying of the Minotaur, which put an end forever to the shameful tribute of seven youths and seven maidens which was exacted from the Athenians every nine years.' The gods, heroes and legends of Greek mythology and their Roman interpretations are as fascinating as they are instructive. They include the almighty Zeus and his many wives; heroic Perseus, slayer of the snake-headed Medusa; Helen of Troy, whose beauty caused a great war; Medea, driven mad by jealousy; and tragic Persephone, doomed to live half of each year in the Underworld, condemning the world above to winter.
Author
E. M. BERENS
E.M. Berens was a scholar and an author who wrote more than a half a dozen books on Greek and Roman mythology. Unlike other Classics scholars of his time, he wrote accessible stories that explored the myths and other oral traditions of ancient peoples rather than simply researching the history of their worship of the gods. His seminal work, The Myths and Legends of Ancient Greece and Rome, was published in 1894.
