The Greek Myths Volumes 1 and 2 Robert Graves London the Folio Society by Robert Graves
For a full appreciation of literature or visual art, knowledge of the Greek myths is crucial. In this much-loved collection, poet and scholar Robert Graves retells the immortal stories of the Greek myths. Demeter mourning her daughter Persephone, Icarus flying too close to the sun, Theseus and the Minotaur all are captured here with the author’s characteristic erudition and flair.
The Greek Myths is the culmination of years of research and careful observation, however what makes this collection extraordinary is the imaginative and poetic style of the retelling. Drawing on his experience as a novelist and poet, Graves tells the fantastic stories of Ancient Greece in a style that is both absorbing and easy for the general reader to understand. Each story is accompanied by Graves’ interpretation of the origins and deeper meaning of the story, giving a reader an unparalleled insight into the customs and development of the Greek world.
This two-volume work is both a valuable reference book and a magical point of entry into the minds of those who lived so many centuries ago. This edition, one of The Folio Society’s all-time bestsellers, is edited and introduced by Kenneth McLeish, with illustrations by Grahame Baker.
