Fakta og dokumentar
The timeless stories of Greek mythology come to life in these reimagined tales written in the voices of Zeus, Oedipus, Odysseus, and many others.
Though the gods are featured prominently in Greek mythology, there is nothing sacred about it. Anyone is free to bring their own interpretation to these stories, just as Homer, Sophocles, and Euripides did centuries ago. In this volume, classicist and author Robert Garland presents nearly forty Greek legends as told by the characters themselves.
Telling their stories from their own perspectives, the famous characters of Greek mythology—both gods and mortals—are given a chance to reflect on their lives and defend actions. Each story is accompanied by historical commentary, making Greek Mythology: Gods and Heroes Brought to Life an engaging and accessible way to enjoy these timeless tales.
