About this electronic book

The 11th Edition of Classical Mythology is the most complete overview of classical mythology that is currently accessible. It is also the first textbook of its kind to be published in full color. This edition continues the best-selling tradition of prior editions. It features thorough and clear translations of original sources by the authors, and it does so in a way that is both interesting and lucid. The book focuses on the myths and tales of ancient Greece and Rome. The textbook includes a wide variety of passages from Latin and Greek sources that have been faithfully translated. These passages come from authors such as Hesiod, Homer, and all of the Homeric Hymns. Other authors include Pindar, Euripides, Aeschylus, Plato, Lucian, Herodotus, Sophocles, Ovid, Lucretius, Vergil, and Seneca.

Respected authors Mark and In order to bring the myths to life for university students, Robert J. Lenardon, Michael Sham, and P.O. Morford use an engaging combination of poetic storytelling and illuminating analysis. In addition to providing cultural and historical context, they investigate the pervasiveness of classical mythology throughout history and the ways in which it has influenced the realms of literature, art, music, dance, and film.
