Synopsis

Since first published 150 years ago, Thomas Bulfinch's retellings of the legends of Greece and Rome provide a ready reference to mythology. The book celebrates the themes which have influenced Western artists, writers and thinkers. It uses quotations from poets, such as Shakespeare, Keats and Wordsworth, to show how the images of the classical world have enriched the world of literature. The full, original text of stories is here published with 140 masterpieces inspired by these myths. The works of artists, including Botticelli, Raphael, Poussin, Tiepolo and Burne-Jones, combine with these retellings.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Bulfinch's Mythology, first published in 1855, is one of the most popular collections of mythology of all time. It consists of three volumes: The Age of Fable, The Age of Chivalry, and Legends of Charlemagne. This is a recording of the tenth edition of the first volume, The Age of Fable. It contains many Greek and Roman myths, including simplified versions of The Iliad and The Odyssey, as well as a selection of Norse and "eastern" myths. Thomas Bulfinch's goal was to make the ancient myths accessible to a wide audience, and so it is suitable for children.
