Love Stories: The Loves of the Gods, Heroes and Men

by Anna Morena Mozzillo

"These events never happened, but they have always existed." So Sallustio writes in the first century BC, speaking of legendary stories of gods and heroes. The ancient tales are as pertinent nowadays as they were stories of love, betrayal, leak, seduction, jealousy, pursuit, transformation, still affecting the modern reader and making him reflect. One can see, by reading these myths, that the deepest feelings and emotions of man have not changed much across the millennia. The book gathers the most beautiful love stories of Greek and Latin mythology, a precious contribution to the preservation of the memory of this vast and fascinating literary heritage.
