Packed with intriguing facts and entertaining stories, this is the ideal introduction to the myths and tales of Ancient Greece and of Ancient Rome. Who was Pandora and what was in her famous box? Why is a famous brand named after the goddess Nike? What exactly is a Titan? The myths are still a part of modern life and language. This comprehensive book takes the fragments we half remember and guides us through the stories and characters, from the origins of the world and the labours of Hercules to the Trojan War and the voyages of Odysseus. It also shows how the stories have survived and influenced art and culture, from Renaissance painting to modern opera, literature, film and products.
