  <default_description>THE religions of ancient Greece and Rome are extinct. The so-called divinities of Olympus have not a single worshipper among living men. They belong now not to the department of theology, but to those of literature and taste. There they still hold their place, and will continue to hold it, for they are too closely connected with the finest productions of poetry and art, both ancient and modern, to pass into oblivion.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[a great reference for all kinds of Greek, Roman, and -- in this edition -- even a few Norse and Egyptian -- mythological tales. Bulfinch does a superb job of quoting passages from literature (LOTS of Byron) where such references crop up, which is lovely. definitely a good investment for the library!...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4564989">more...</a>]]></body>
