Myths of Greece and Rome
Narrated with Special Reference to Literature and Art
Myths of Greece and Rome, published in 1893, is one of the handbooks of mythology that H. A. Guerber wrote for students and general readers. It retells the classical myths in orderly sequence: the creation and the Titans, Jupiter and the Olympian gods one by one, the lesser divinities of earth, sea and the underworld, then the heroes, Perseus, Hercules, Theseus, Jason and the Argonauts, the Theban cycle, and the Trojan war with the wanderings of Ulysses and Aeneas. Guerber quotes the poets who told these stories, from Homer and Ovid to English writers, and adds a short chapter on interpreting the myths. Reproductions of paintings and sculptures illustrate the text. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
