## Overview

The Greek Myths: The Complete and Definitive Edition by Robert Graves is a comprehensive, scholarly retelling of classical Greek myths, featuring 171 chapters with detailed commentaries and a full index. Ideal for serious readers and mythology enthusiasts, this Penguin edition is a top-ranked bestseller in folklore and ancient history, offering an authoritative and immersive exploration of Western literary foundations.

## Description

The definitive and comprehensive edition of Robert Graves's classic retelling of the Greek myths 'Icarus disobeyed his father's instructions and began soaring towards the sun, rejoiced by the lift of his great sweeping wings. Presently, when Daedalus looked over his shoulder, he could no longer see Icarus; but scattered feathers floated on the waves below...' These are the greatest stories ever told - the labours of Hercules, the voyage of the Argonauts, Theseus and the minotaur, Midas and his golden touch, the Trojan War and Odysseus's journey home - brought together into one epic and unforgettable story. Ideal for the first time reader, it can be read as a single page-turning narrative, while full commentaries as well as a comprehensive index of names make it equally valuable for anyone seeking an authoritative and detailed account of the spectacular stories that make up the bedrock of Western literature. The Greek Myths is a classic among classics, a treasure trove of extraordinary tales and a masterful work of literature in its own right.

Review: Detailed and evocative. - The author takes the reader on an evocative journey through Greek myths and mythology in 171 short logically ordered chapters. The book would be better titled “Greek Myths and Mythology”, for detailed explanations and potential historic origins are provided for each paragraph of actual story. Comparisons are also made between differing versions of the same myth. The author provides a captivating insight into ancient history and the human phykey. The book is not intended as an introduction into the subject but is a fascinating read for those with a basic knowledge seeking greater detail and depth. The book is also well suited to those seeking a definitive reference, for not one myth appears to have been missed and every paragraph of story is referenced to its original source. But be warned; the authors use of English is complex and articulated, I would suggest that readers not capable of attaining high grades in English Language may struggle to fully comprehend.
Review: A definitive guide - but not for the dabbler - This book has stood the test of time and you will soon see why. Robert Graves knowledge of Greek Mythology is very extensive. However, if you are looking for an easy read or some sort of introduction to Greek Mythology this is not the book for you. Unless you are a serious student of the subject it is extremely difficult to keep up with all the names and the endless relationships that seemed to have occurred. Even if you just read the myths and not the large amount of footnotes written by Robert Graves it is still fairly difficult to follow in places. Probably better as a source of reference than a book to read from cover to cover.
