The Greek Myths

For a full appreciation of literature or visual art, knowledge of the Greek myths is crucial. In this much-loved collection, poet and scholar Robert Graves retells the immortal stories of the Greek myths. Demeter mourning her daughter Persephone, Icarus flying too close to the sun, Theseus and the Minotaur … all are captured here with the author’s characteristic erudition and flair.

This two-volume work is both a valuable reference book and a magical point of entry into the minds of those who lived so many centuries ago. This edition, one of The Folio Society’s all-time bestsellers, is edited and introduced by Kenneth McLeish, with illustrations by Grahame Baker.
