The Greek Myths: The Complete And Definitive Edition
*The definitive and comprehensive edition of Robert Graves's classic retelling of the Greek myths* 'Icarus disobeyed his father's instructions and began soaring towards the sun, rejoiced by the lift of his great sweeping wings. Presently, when Daedalus looked over his shoulder, he could no longer see Icarus; but scattered feathers floated on the waves below...' These are the greatest stories ever told - the labours of Hercules, the voyage of the Argonauts, Theseus and the minotaur, Midas and his golden touch, the Trojan War and Odysseus's journey home - brought together into one epic and unforgettable story. Ideal for the first time reader, it can be read as a single page-turning narrative, while full commentaries as well as a comprehensive index of names make it equally valuable for anyone seeking an authoritative and detailed account of the spectacular stories that make up the bedrock of Western literature. The Greek Myths is a classic among classics, a treasure trove of extraordinary tales and a masterful work of literature in its own right.

Slightly different than what I thought but lots of good info.
Geoffrey J Smitha
It was delivered promptly, it's a bit beat up, not from transport just general wear and tear, but otherwise a great educational and inspirational work!
Abby HazlettGeoff
So detailed and informative! Even includes all the small roles that people either forget about or don’t even know about! Great for educational and recreational reading. A great resource for work.

I love this book! It is amazing! The only downside is that it took about 2-3 weeks to get here.

Robert Graves provides clear, well-researched, interesting comments and explanations of Greek mythology and the characters and intrigues involved in their lives and the lives they affected (and to some extent, still affect). More detailed than Hamiltion's text and more fully explained.
