    <body><![CDATA[I am enjoying this book particularly because it gives me the sources for the myths and the majority are ones I've never heard of. I don't really like Graves' recurring obsession with the White Goddess. It seems like every other myth according to Graves is a veiled reference to this same theme.

    <![CDATA[Endymion, Pelops, Daedalus, Pygmalion -- we recognize the names, but what are the stories behind these and other familiar gods from the Greek pantheon -- names that recur throughout the history of European culture?  <p>Drawing on an enormous range of sources, Robert Graves has brought together elements of these myths in simple narrative form. He retells the adventures of the most important gods and heroes of the ancient Greeks. His work has become the reference for the serious scholar as well as the casual inquirer. </p>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Graves' retelling of the Greek myths was interesting, though he certainly kept it to the bare bones. Many of the sagas I had to reread several times to gather who was who.

    <![CDATA[Endymion, Pelops, Daedalus, Pygmalion -- we recognize the names, but what are the stories behind these and other familiar gods from the Greek pantheon -- names that recur throughout the history of European culture?  <p>Drawing on an enormous range of sources, Robert Graves has brought together elements of these myths in simple narrative form. He retells the adventures of the most important gods and heroes of the ancient Greeks. His work has become the reference for the serious scholar as well as the casual inquirer. </p>]]>

But this edition has some nice photos of pottery, sculpture etc. (There's a particularly hunky statue of Heracles from a Neopolitan museum.)<br/>Now ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/62055124">more...</a>]]></body>
