Myths are still part of modern life and language. We all know something about ancient mythology, but this book helps you piece together the larger picture. You’ll discover the key stories and characters, from the creation of the world and the exploits of Hercules to the Trojan War and the wanderings of Odysseus. Dr Philip Matyszak, who teaches at Cambridge, brings to life an exotic cast of heroes and monsters, wronged women and powerful gods. He shows how the stories of ancient mythology have lived on through the ages, influencing art and culture, from Renaissance painting to modern opera, literature and cinema.
