[J. Keck]

Always informative, this is a visual cornucopia of the Greek mythological world. A concise and visual depiction of a civilization that has inspired the Romans and Europeans to this day. What would literature be without the philosophy, the plays, the sculpture, the myths of the Ancient Greeks?
