About the book

Robert Graves's The Greek Myths presents an extensive retelling and interpretation of the myths of ancient Greece. The collection encompasses the Olympian gods, the Trojan War, Heracles, Theseus, Jason, Perseus and many other heroes and legendary figures. Graves retells the stories while also examining their possible religious, historical and ritual origins, creating a substantial guide to the mythology that has influenced Western literature and art for centuries. Graves combines traditional narratives with commentary on their possible ritual, religious and historical origins, making the book both a collection of myths and a study of how they developed.
