Classical Gods and Heroes

All the wonder, terror, and delight of Greek mythology springs forth from the pages of this unique and much-needed anthology.

Rhonda Hendricks has not only selected from the works of the ancient authors the best–and often earliest–versions of these tales; she has also arranged them so as to give a cumulative view of classical mythology beginning with The Creation and The Birth of Zeus. Of particular interest are:

The Ages of Mankind

The Birth of Athena

Oedipus the King

Heracles

Theseus

Jason and Medea

The Judgement of Paris

The Trojan Horse

Pygmalion

Cupid and Psyche

These texts offer a new perspective on classical mythology and, by so doing, cast a new light on this cornerstone of Western culture.
