GODS AND HEROES

by Gustav Schwab ‧ RELEASE DATE: N/A

A beautiful edition with English text of a mythology long considered standard in Europe, Schwab's Legends and Epics of Greek Antiquity. Schwab tapped sources for the preferred version, sometimes combining two or more for a rounded whole. Some of the ancient classics are included -- Hesiod, Ovid, Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides. One sees how these legends supplied inspiration for poetry, drama, philosophy, and education of the Greeks and Romans, and came on down to our Christian civilization. Important addition to reference shelves.
