For the first time, in "Greek Mythology" by Ekdotiki Athinon, all the mythological material handed down to us by Ancient Literature is covered, down to its smallest details. Thus, the myths of all deities are narrated and analyzed, from the Twelve Olympians to the lesser gods, and of all heroes, from the pan-Hellenic to the local ones. All variations of the myths and the local traditions preserved to this day are also examined. This monumental work is illustrated with over a thousand masterpieces of ancient art. Additionally, its texts are written in such a way as to satisfy the needs of the student who wants to enjoy the beauty of ancient myths as one enjoys a fairy tale, while also preparing for mythology lessons at school; the general reader who wishes to be entertained by learning what the ancient Greeks narrated about their gods and heroes; as well as the philologist and every scholar who wants to be informed about the historical and explanatory development of the Myth and the history of mythological research.
