Relatos de los héroes griegos

From the myths of the universe's creation to the death of Hercules, the author focuses on the great heroic cycles—such as those of Perseus, Theseus, and the Argonauts—while incorporating shorter tales, including the stories of Orpheus and Eurydice, King Midas, the misfortunes of Oedipus, the expeditions against Thebes, and various "metamorphoses," such as those of Narcissus or Hyacinth. In this original book—now a classic—Lancelyn Green weaves the myths and legends of Ancient Greece into a single narrative, thereby honoring the way the ancient Greeks themselves conceived of their mythology. It is a striking yet rigorous approach to one of the most explored and fascinating realms of our culture.
