"one of the most popular books ever published in the United States and the standard work on classical mythology for nearly a century"-Edith Hamilton.
Most mythology books are boring. Bulfinch's Mythology was written to change that.
Instead of dry summaries and dense commentary, these legendary tales unfold as living stories full of drama, adventure, love, betrayal, and heroism. From the gods of Olympus and the labors of Hercules to the knights of King Arthur and the epic romances of Charlemagne, this volume brings together the great myths that shaped Western imagination.
For generations, readers have turned to this classic as a gateway to Greek mythology, Arthurian legend, and medieval epic. Blending storytelling with insight, it transforms ancient lore into vivid narrative.
This richly illustrated complete edition gathers The Age of Fable, The Age of Chivalry, and Legends of Charlemagne in one beautifully presented volume.
Discover mythology as it was meant to be told compelling, dramatic, and unforgettable.
