  • "Bulfinch's Mythology, or The Age of Fable is Thomas Bulfinch's brilliant reconstruction of the ancient myths and legends that form the backbone of western culture. Drawn from a variety of classic sources, including Ovid's Metamorphoses, Egyptian myths, Eastern mythology, and Hindu, Norse, and Celtic works, these selections form a remarkable tapestry of human endeavor: dreams, illusions, adventures, loves lost, and loves found. Included are the legends of Cupid and Psyche, Venus and Adonis, Hero and Leander, Hercules, and many others."@en
