The internationally recognized classic that has delighted and entertained millions of readers with its timeless tales of gods and heroes. Enid Hamilton's mythology succeeds like no other book in bringing to life for the modern reader the Greek, Roman, and Scandinavian myths that are the foundation of Western civilization - the stories of gods and heroes that have inspired human creativity from antiquity to the present day.

We follow the dramatic story of the Trojan War and the adventures of Odysseus. We hear the tales of Jason and the Golden Fleece, of Love and Psyche, as well as the mighty King Midas. We discover the roots of the names of the constellations. And we recognize the reference points for countless works of art, literature, and cultural research - from Freud's Oedipus complex to Wagner's Ring cycle and Eugene O'Neill's "Mourning Becomes Electra."

"Mythology" is a classic work that should not be missed, both as a reference for scholars of all ages and as a book for enjoyment.
