Book Description
Gods, Demigods and Demons is a concise, yet wide-ranging handbook of Greek mythology that promises a vivid introduction to the great myths of ancient Greece. The accessible and informative entries convey the significance of Greek mythology and its place at the core of Western culture. They evoke the majesty, as well as the all-too-human foibles, of the Greek deities and their acolytes. Both a helpful guide and a one-stop resource that can be consulted again and again, this book will prove an indispensable companion to the world of the ancient Greeks and the gods they worshipped.
