Myth, history, and the ancient Greek world

Helene Guerber’s collection brings together legendary figures and historical people and events, spanning tales from Icarus and Jason to Socrates and Alexander the Great. Alongside familiar myths, it covers Athens and Sparta, the Trojan War, and landmarks such as the Colossus of Rhodes, tracing Greek history through its eventual incorporation into the Roman province. Maps and original illustrations accompany the unabridged text, giving the book a reference-like dimension as well as a narrative one. Its broad range offers an introduction to how mythology, political history, and cultural memory meet in accounts of ancient Greece.
