twentieth centuries. The result? An enlightening and lively volume of stories and a treat for
all fans of the Greek Mythology.  Greek Myths have been part of Western culture since they were
first set down by the ancients. The fact that there is no one definitive account means that
through the centuries the stories have been ripe for reinterpretation according to the politics
and fashions of the time. In this book  with stories written by the likes of Andrew and Jean
Lang  Thomas Bullfinch and H A Guerber  each story has been chosen for its clarity and
vivacity.
