About This Book

A clear, illustrated survey of Greek and Roman mythology that presents cosmogony, the principal gods, attendant and nature deities, the gods of sea and underworld, and major heroic cycles. Material is organized thematically into sections on gods, cults, and heroes, with concise accounts of myths and attention to how those stories are rendered in ancient and later art. Illustrations and iconographic notes accompany entries to help readers identify mythological subjects in sculpture, painting, and literature.
