About this book

Myths and Legends of Ancient Greece and Rome is a clear and orderly retelling of classical mythology by E. M. Berens, first published around 1880 and long used as an introduction for students and general readers. The first part sets out the gods and goddesses of Olympus, their powers, festivals, and the way the ancients pictured the world. The second gathers the great heroic legends, among them the labours of Heracles, the voyage of the Argonauts, and the tragic story of the House of Thebes. Written in plain, readable prose and drawn from the ancient sources, it remains a useful handbook for anyone approaching Greek and Roman myth for the first time.
