The Myths of Greece and Rome

This generously illustrated book of classical myths has become a classic in itself, long prized for its simple, graphic, accurate retelling of the principle myths of Greece and Rome, and for its commentary on their origins and significance. Sixty-four illustrations by such masters as Michelangelo, Raphael, Titian, Rubens, Canova, and Bernini add further classic touches to this time-honored work, which also includes an invaluable genealogical table and a map showing the location of the myths.
