Their stories and the stories of the powerful gods and goddesses who punish and reward, who fall in love with and are enraged by the humans they have created, are set forth simply but movingly, in language that retains the power and drama of the original works by Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, and Homer. In Gustav Schwab&#8217;s masterful retelling, they are made accessible to readers of all ages. 420045 1977 Gods and Heroes of Ancient Greece (Pantheon Fairy Tale & Folklore Library.) total:43|5:2|4:2|3:1|2:0|1:0| 43 175 67 11 431071 0375714464 9780375714467 41 11 4.07 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174689860m/431071.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/431071.Gods_and_Heroes_of_Ancient_Greece 5 1 false Wed Apr 30 08:17:14 -0700 2008 Wed Apr 30 08:20:38 -0700 2008 You know how you often get asked a silly question like ''If you had one book to take on a deserted island'', well, i'd choose this one.
