Bulfinch's Mythology

<b>For almost 150 years <i>Bulfinch's Mythology</i> has been the text by which the great tales from classical antiquity the Norse and Asian traditions and the age of chivalry have been known. </b> <p/>Here are lively versions of the myths of Zeus Hera and their cohorts on Mt. Olympus; the legends of the Trojan War and the epic wanderings of Ulysses and Aeneas; the tales of the joys of Valhalla and the furies of Thor; the adventures of King Arthur and his knights; and the sagas of Beowulf and Robin Hood. <p/>As Thomas Bulfinch himself wrote Without a knowledge of mythology much of the elegant literature of our own language cannot be understood and appreciated. With stories that are eminently readable <i> Bulfinch's Mythology</i> gives us just that knowledge.
