Classical myths alongside their literary echoes
Thomas Bulfinch’s collection brings together Greek and Roman myths, with selections from Persian, Indian, and Scandinavian traditions. It also connects these stories to later British poetry, placing excerpts near the myths that inspired them. That arrangement makes the book both a collection of mythic narratives and a guide to recognizing their presence in literary references and everyday language.
Based on publisher information and book metadata.
A comprehensive collection of Greek and Roman myths, with a sampling from Persia, India, and Scandinavia-stories enjoyable in and of themselves, but also valuable because allusions to them are so common in modern parlance. How the myths are employed by modern writers is demonstrated by the inclusion of one excerpt after another of British poetry in close proximity to the myth that inspired it.
