EXPLORE THE MYTHICAL PAST, MEET THE ANCIENT GREEK GODS AND GODDESSES AND DISCOVER WHY THEIR STORIES ARE STILL SO ENTHRALLING TODAY...

Whether you're already well versed in the lore, or are discovering these tales for the first time, this handbook is your ultimate companion to the characters from Greek myth. Informed by sources ranging from Homer and Hesiod's poetry to Athenian drama, and from 5th century BCE Greek vases to Roman statues, bestselling author and classicist Caroline Lawrence provides insightful profiles for each god, demigod, hero and monster.
