Mythology
Autor Edith Hamiltonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 apr 2013
Edith Hamilton's Mythology succeeds like no other book in bringing to life for the modern reader the myths that are the keystone of Western culture-the stories of gods and heroes that have inspired human creativity from antiquity to the present.
Follow the drama of the Trojan War and the wanderings of Odysseus. Hear the tales of Jason and the Golden Fleece, Cupid and Psyche, and mighty King Midas. Discover the origins of the names of the constellations. And recognize reference points for countless works for art, literature, and culture inquiry-from Freud's Oedipus complex to Wagner's Ring Cycle of operas to Eugene O'Neill's Mourning Becomes Electra.
Both an accessible reference guide for curious readers and a book to simply enjoy, Mythology is a classic not to be missed.

Notă biografică
Edith Hamilton (1868-1963) was born of American parents in Dresden, Germany, and grew up in Indiana. Through the first quarter of the twentieth century she was the headmistress of the Bryn Mawr School in Baltimore. Upon retiring, she began to write about the civilizations of the ancient world and soon gained world renown as a classicist. Her celebrated and bestselling books include Mythology, The Greek Way, The Roman Way, and The Echo of Greece. She regarded as the high point of her life a 1957 ceremony in which King Paul of Greece named her an honorary citizen of Athens.
Recenzii
"No
one
in
modern
times
has
shown
us
more
vividly
than
Edith
Hamilton
'the
glory
that
was
Greece
and
the
grandeur
that
was
Rome.'
Filtering
the
golden
essence
from
the
mass
of
classical
literature,
she
proved
how
applicable
to
our
daily
lives
are
the
humor
and
wisdom
of
more
than
2,000
years
ago."—New
