Description
|
|
|
|
From the origins of the gods through the homecomings of Odysseus and the Trojan heroes, from the greed of Midas and his golden touch to the reckless enthusiasm of Icarus flying too close to the sun, the familiar narratives of Greek myth are collected here, along with some less familiar characters and motifs. Examining these founding stories of Western literature, Stephen Kershaw illuminates three key areas of interest: the nature of the tales, the stories themselves, and how they have and might be interpreted.
