| Summary/Abstract |
Included in this volume are some of the most exciting and influential of all Greek myths. The author introduces the complex pantheon of Olympic gods and goddesses, describing their attitudes, genealogies and often their comic relationships. It illustrates the personalities and their stories by drawing upon the artistry of the ancient culture which created them. The book also includes in a final chapter the powerful and continuing imaginative legacy of Greek myth, from Botticelli to Freud.
