In this delightful book the myths of Greece and Rome, and the significance and origin of the stories, are superbly brought to life by the author. It includes accounts of Jupiter, Hercules, Theseus, Oedipus, Vulcan, Jason, the Trojan war, Apollo and the adventures of Ulysses and Aeneas and many other topics and personalities.
