from the late 19th and early 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

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.
