Bulfinch's Mythology
Bulfinch's Mythology collects the retellings of classical and medieval legend that Thomas Bulfinch, a Boston bank clerk, wrote for general readers in the 1850s and 1860s, beginning with The Age of Fable in 1855. This edition contains the Stories of Gods and Heroes, from the creation and Prometheus through Perseus, Hercules, Theseus, the Trojan War and the wanderings of Ulysses and Aeneas; King Arthur and His Knights; the Welsh tales of the Mabinogeon; hero myths of the British race, including Cuchulain, Hereward the Wake and Robin Hood; and the Legends of Charlemagne. Bulfinch quotes the English poets freely so that readers can recognize the allusions, and a glossary of names closes the book. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
