Gods and Heroes of Ancient Greece: The Pantheon Fairy Tale and Folklore Library
Autor Gustav Schwaben Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 mai 2002
From fire-stealing Prometheus to scene-stealing Helen of Troy, from Jason and his golden fleece to Oedipus and his mother, this collection of classic tales from Greek mythology demonstrates the inexhaustible vitality of a timeless cultural legacy. These stories of heroes and powerful gods and goddesses are set forth simply and movingly, in language that retains the power and drama of the original works by Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, and Homer.
