The Greek Myths by Robert Graves
Requirements: .ePUB reader | 6.9 MB | Retail |
Overview: British author Robert Graves is known by many for his series of richly-detailed, compelling novels of ancient Rome, beginning with I, Claudius. Graves also fought for Great Britain in the First World War, and became one of the finest poets to emerge from that conflict. Robert Graves always considered himself a poet first, but unable to support his family through poetry alone, he wrote novels, works of criticism and nonfiction, and taught at Oxford in the 1960s, becoming a lecturer at age 66.
Genre: Fiction > General Fiction/Classics | Mythology
The Greek Myths: The Complete and Definitive Edition (UK)
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.
The Greek Myths: Deluxe Edition (Intro Rick Riordan) (US)
Robert Graves, classicist, poet, and unorthodox critic, retells the Greek legends of gods and heroes for a modern audience ..And, in the two volumes of The Greek Myths, he demonstrates with a dazzling display of relevant knowledge that Greek Mythology is “no more mysterious in content than are modern election cartoons.” His work covers, in nearly two hundred sections, the creation myths; the legends of the births and lives of the great Olympians; the Theseus, Oedipus, and Heracles cycles; the Argonaut voyage; the tale of Troy, and much more.
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, Full references to the classical sources, and copious indexes, make the book as valuable to the scholar as to the general reader; and a full commentary on each myth explains and interprets the classical version in the light of today’s archaeological and anthropological knowledge.
