Classical Mythology

by Robert J. Lenardon, Mark P.O. Morford, Homer

Morford and Lenardon's best-selling introduction to classical mythology is a comprehensive survey focusing on the literary tradition of Greek and Roman mythology. It offers extensive translations of original mythological sources as well as comparative and interpretive approaches to the myths. In this package, Classical Mythology, 6/e is bundled with the Oxford World's Classic The Odyssey. The first English prose translation of Homer's The Odyssey to appear in over thirty years, Shewring's translation comes as close to the spirit of the original Greek as our language will allow.

[Paul Heather · Rating 3 out of 5]

A fair read but a bit of a wade in places - could be worth a re-read with an alternative translation

6/10. Obviously a very important book. Read as part of my degree. Hard work to get through it.
