About this product

Product Information

Comprehensive and scholarly, this well-designed text presents Greek and Roman myths in a lively and easy-to-read manner. The material has been rearranged to make it easier to find and the new edition has been streamlined. It features fresh translations, numerous illustrations (ancient and modern) of classical myths and legends, and commentary that emphasizes the anthropological, historical, religious, sociological, and economic contexts in which the myths were told. It also provides a cultural context so that readers can see how mythology has influenced the world and how it continues to influence society today.

Great Service
i love that the book is paper back because it makes it much easier for me to carry around from class to class. it confused me a bit that the cover is different but everything else is exactly like the non international version so it works well. i needed this book for a class i am taking so this is much cheaper then the bookstores price at my school.
