Synopsis

Meet legendary heroes, powerful goddesses and vengeful monsters in this beautiful hardback collection of Greek and Roman mythology, presented with gold cover embossing and sprayed edges.

A tapestry of timeless myths and legends that form the bedrock of classical literature. The collection is presented with an accessible prose style, which serves as an inviting gateway to the classical gods, their pantheon of gods and heroes, and their rich array of narratives that have inspired countless adaptations throughout millennia. Curated by Emilie K. Baker, the stories are drawn from a deep well of mythology, bringing the adventures and trials of characters like Perseus, Hercules, and Romulus to new generations, and situating them within their cultural contexts.

Includes:
- The Story of Pandora
- Hades and the Underworld
- Poseidon and the Sea-Gods
- Pan and the Nymphs
- The Love of Apollo
- The Calydonian Hunt
- Oedipus

This ornate hardback edition features gold embossing on the font and back cover, full-color endpaper designs, ivory pages and stencilled page edges, making a wonderful collectible edition for any mythology lover.

À propos de l'auteur

Emilie K. Baker (1873-1951) was married to Franklin T. Baker, founder of the Department of the Teaching of English at Columbia Teachers College. She published a number of volumes of re-told myths and legends with the aim of making the stories accessible to the widest audience but had an enjoyable but educational purpose at the heart of her storytelling. Her works include Tales from Ancient Greece and Rome and Out of the Northland.
