Following teachers' requests Morford and Lenardon produced this study guide to complement, Classical Mythology . The guide rews each of chapters 1 through 23 o fhte larger book, and provides practice tests with answers. By isolating the important information, this Companion provides a quicker and firmer grasp of essentials for an easier understanding of the source material so that more time can be devoted to the meaning and interpretation of the myths and their impact upon subsequent literature, art, music, and film.
A computer disk, available free to instructors on request, relates the extensive information available in Perseus (Yale University's electronia classical archive) to Classical Mythology .

Présentation de l'éditeur

Building on the best-selling tradition of previous editions, Classical Mythology, Ninth Edition, is the most comprehensive survey of classical mythology available in one volume. Featuring the authors' extensive translations of original sources as well as their clear explanations and commentary, the book brings to life the myths and legends of Greece and Rome in a lucid and engaging style. The text contains a wide variety of faithfully translated passages from Greek and Latin sources, including Homer, Hesiod, all the Homeric Hymns, Pindar, Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, Herodotus, Plato, Lucian, Lucretius, Vergil, Ovid, and Seneca. In addition, it offers historical and cultural background on the myths, including evidence from art and archaeology, as well as ample interpretive material. The map program has been revised and enhanced. Michael Sham, who wrote the study guide for past editions and was also the main author of the extensive website and ancillaries, has joined Morford and Lenardon as a coauthor.
