Synopsis
As familiar to most people as the characters in the Bible, the great legendary heroes and stories of classical Greece are a unique leagacy, their traditions having influenced the art, literature and culture of Western Europe like no other. However it is difficult to piece together a coherent picture of the genuine uncorrupted tradition of Greek mythology. The book deliberately excludes Roman myths which blur the true image of the Greek heritage. In dictionary form it covers all the major figures of Greek mythology and provides a handy but comprehensive guide. It has gods, heroes, men, places, mythical creatures and religious terminology as well as some illustrations. Some post classical folklore and legends are also included: Alexander the Great, vampires and the terrible kallikantzaroni for example...
