Book Description
Full of intriguing facts and diverting stories—the ideal introduction to the myths and tales that lie at the heart of Western culture. Who was Pandora and what was in her famous box? How did Achilles get his Achilles heel? What exactly is a Titan? And why is one computer virus known as a Trojan horse? The myths of ancient Greece and Rome can seem bewilderingly complex, yet they are so much a part of modern life and discourse that most of us know fragments of them. This comprehensive companion takes these fragments and weaves them into an accessible and enjoyable narrative, guiding the reader through the basic stories of classical myth. Philip Matyszak explains the sequences of events and introduces the major plots and characters, from the origins of the world and the labors of Hercules to the Trojan War and the voyages of Odysseus and Aeneas. He brings to life an exotic cast of heroes and monsters, wronged women and frighteningly arbitrary yet powerful gods. He also shows how the stories have survived and greatly influenced later art and culture, from Renaissance painting and sculpture to modern opera, literature, movies, and everyday products.

Book Description
Excerpt from An Outline of Greek and Roman Mythology The Greek and the Roman Mythology, though often con fused, should be kept distinct. Both Greeks and Romans no doubt inherited from the indo-european parent-folk a common fund of mythological conceptions. But these took shape in accordance with the peculiar genius, surroundings, and development of each people, with results widely different.

Book Description
Excerpt from Wonder Tales From the Greek Roman Myths The religion Of the early Greeks and Romans, like that Of most of the ancient nations Of their time, was very closely interwoven with the history Of their country and the deeds Of their most famous heroes; and though, before the intro duction Of Christianity, it had fallen into a very corrupt state, in its earlier and purer forms it had much that was beautiful in it, and many great truths were hidden in the myths and fables relating to the various gods and goddesses wor shipped by its adherents.

Book Description
Excerpt from Greek and Roman Mythology: Based on Steuding's Griechische Und Romische Mythologie In adapting Steuding's Griechische and Romische Mythologie to the needs Of American students, two aims have been kept steadily in view: first, that the genesis and development of the myths should be clearly set forth; secondly, that the text should be supplemented by a generous supply of references to some of the most useful literary passages illustrative of the subjects in hand. Therein lie Whatever claims this little book has to a place among the various attractive text-books that have recently appeared upon the same subject.

Book Description
Excerpt from Mythology: Greek and Roman As time went on, they identified these various powers, and looked upon them as individual gods. When they beheld them struggling with each other, the wind lashing the sea, the water overcoming the fierce flame, and the rivers flooding and devastating the land, they imagined that each element had its own special deity, and that these often warred one with another. The number of gods rapidly increased, but still they ever regarded One as more mighty than the rest, and the others as subordinate. With all the qualities which they themselves possessed they endowed their gods, only in a higher degree. Thus so long as they themselves were innocent, their gods were innocent. When, however, in the course of time, men degenerated, they endowed the gods with all their own crimes and vices. They worshipped these deities, and called upon them in all the important affairs of life, offering to them sacrifices and prayers. Sometimes one nation adopted the gods of another, but even when this was the case, they invariably adapted them to their own require ments. And for this reason it is often difficult to trace the origin of the worship of certain deities. Occasionally ancient monarchs, heroes, and benefactors of their country were immortalized after their death; and these different myths were in time connected by the poets and Singers. Who improved, completed, and Often added, until they gradually blended them into a perfect whole. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
