{"product_id":"the-greek-myths","title":"The Greek Myths","description":"370, 412 pp. Map of Greek world follows text. Combines in a single volume the complete text of the definitive two-volume classic, citing all the ancient myths. Not for over a century, since Smith's Dictionary of Classical Mythology first appeared, has the attempt been made to provide for the English reader a complete 'mythology', in the sense of a retelling in modern terms of the Greek tales of Gods and heroes. Robert Graves, whose combination of classical scholarship and anthropological competence has already been so brilliantly demonstrated in The White Goddess and Hercules, My Shipmate, and the other novels, supplies the need. In nearly two hundred sections, he covers the Creation myths, the legends of the birth and lives of the great Olympians, the Theseus, Oedipus, and Heracles cycles, the Argonaut voyage, the tale of Troy, and much else. All the scattered elements of each myth have been assembled into a harmonious narrative, and many variants are recorded which may help to determine its ritual or historical meaning. A full commentary to each myth explains and interprets the classical version in the light of today's archaeological and anthropological knowledge.","brand":"Moyer Bell Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43646781521990,"sku":"2350410","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1232\/9510\/files\/2350410.jpg?v=1754715716","url":"https:\/\/ym-demo.myshopify.com\/products\/the-greek-myths","provider":"Yesterday's Muse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
