Description
Tom Lee presents an in-depth, engaging retelling of Ancient Greek Mythology, connecting the stories to their primary sources in Ancient Greek. Drawn from poetry, epic, and theater, the stories connect, intersect, and reflect each other. Gods, heroes, monsters, and spirits of the natural world struggle in some of the greatest, strangest, and most memorable stories ever told.
