Greek Myths by Robert Graves – Illustrated Editon

When it was first published thirty years ago Robert Graves’ retelling of the Greek Myths rapidly reached a vast readership throughout the world. In his own highly readable style Graves bought all these much-loved tales of classical gods and heroes within the reach of the ordinary reader whilst the book also quickly became renowned for its scholarship and insight as well as its wit and charm. 

Using photographs of ancient Greek art treasures, painting and pots, statues and carvings, the book portrays the larger than life characters whose sometimes all too human activities throng the pages of this handsome book.
