For more than a century and a half, *Bulfinch's Mythology* has been the gateway through which generations of readers have entered the enchanted world of ancient myth. This modern-English edition preserves the full sweep of Thomas Bulfinch's classic—the Greek and Roman gods and heroes, the tragic loves and daring quests, the Trojan War, the voyages of Odysseus and Aeneas, and the stark northern sagas of Odin and Thor—all rendered in clear, flowing language that captures the spirit of the originals without the dated stiffness of nineteenth-century prose. Whether you are meeting Jupiter and Juno, Perseus, or the Valkyries for the first time or returning to old friends, this volume invites you to discover why these stories still speak to us across the ages. Part of Timeless Classics.
