Travel back to a time when divine beings mixed with mortals, when heroes battled sorcerers, and nature was a mysterious realm ruled by beautiful and dangerous deities.
The enduring stories from classical antiquity form a major part of the heritage of Western culture, ranging from myths of the Titans, Hercules and the creation of the world, to the legends of the Trojan War and the founding of Rome.
This beautiful slipcased treasury includes 40 myths and legends from Ancient Greece and Rome, retold by a variety of expert storytellers. Bound in faux cloth with foil stamping, this collection features striking black and white illustrations from master artists of the 16th through to the 19th century, making it a truly worthy collector's item.
