  • "Classicist and poet Robert Graves' superb two-volume retelling of the Greek myths for a modern audience has been regarded for over fifty years as the definitive version. Drawing on the entire canon of ancient literature, Graves weaves together all the elements of every myth into a single harmonious narrative. Ideal for the first time reader, it is also accompanied by commentaries, cross-references, variants and explanations that make it equally valuable as a work of scholarly reference. The result is a dazzling and comprehensive account of the gods and monsters, the heroic feats and appalling tragedies of ancient Greece, many of them among the greatest stories ever told. Included in this first volume are the great creation myths, the heroic tales of Perseus and Theseus, the tragedies of Orpheus and Icarus, the stories of the gods Aphrodite, Hermes, Apollo and Dionysus, as well as many, many others."

  • "In a work that has become a classic reference book for both the serious scholar and the casual inquirer, Graves retells the adventures of the important gods and heroes worshipped by the ancient Greeks. Each entry provides a full commentary which examines problems of interpretation in both historical and anthropological terms, and in light of contemporary research. Endymion, Pelops, Daedalus, Pygmalion, we recognize the names, but what are the stories behind these and other familiar gods from the Greek pantheon; names that recur throughout the history of European culture? Drawing on an enormous range of sources, Robert Graves has brought together elements of these myths in simple narrative form. He retells the adventures of the most important gods and heroes of the ancient Greeks. His work has become the reference for the serious scholar as well as the casual inquirer."@en

  • "Prima della scienza, prima della religione, c'è il mito. Modo ingenuo - ci dicono - modo fantasioso, spregiudicato e prescientifico, di spiegare l'origine delle cose e degli uomini, gli usi i costumi e le leggi. Filologia, etnografia, antropologia hanno lacerato il velo del mito, evidenziandone le radici ideologiche, il retroterra di superstizione e di magia. Ma i miti, così dissezionati, ci vengono restituiti alla stregua di freddi reperti anatomici, buoni tuttalpiù per qualche museo. Robert Graves è riuscito a rianimare questa materia ormai inerte, restituendocela con tutto il suo splendore, il suo sense of wonder e (anche) of humour."
