Description
The subject of mythology is not only engrossing in itself, but is also vital study for all those concerned with literature and th earts, past and present. The nature-myths and historical epics of Greece and Rome enrich our daily lives in countless ways. One could not find a better, more authoritative guide to this world of beauty, adventure and excitement than H. J. Rose's 'A Handbook of Greek Mythology,' now in its sixth edition. It has long been established as one of the major works in the field of mythology, and its author is Professor Emeritus of Greek at the University of St. Andrews, Scotland. It should be noted that this book is addressed not only to those coming to the subject for the first time, but also to those who already have a basic knowledge of mythology and are looking for scholarly detail and guidance to further research.
