Synopsis

Bulfinch’s Mythology is a foundational 19th-century collection that brings classical and medieval legends to life. Bulfinch’s stated goal was to teach mythology not as a dry academic subject, but as a source of relaxation and cultural enrichment. By weaving the ancient prose together with quotations from classical and contemporary poets, he created a timeless classic that bridges ancient history and modern literature.
The comprehensive anthology consists of three distinct parts:

  • The Age of Fable: An introduction to Greek and Roman mythology, featuring the tales of Olympian gods, heroes, the Trojan War, and the wanderings of Ulysses and Aeneas.
  • The Age of Chivalry: Explores medieval romances, focusing heavily on King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table.
  • Legends of Charlemagne: Explores the romantic tales of the Middle Ages and Charlemagne’s paladins.
It remains an essential, accessible guide for understanding the mythological references found throughout Western literature, poetry, and art.
