Like the constellations in the sky, words such as aphrodisiac,
hubris, museum, galaxy and mentor each contain within them a story,
if only you knew to look closely. This collection retells the myths
behind common words and expressions in English, bringing to life
the heroes, monsters and gods whose deeds and battles have left a
hidden mark on our language. Compiling more than seventy-five
myths, the stories in this book feature well-known figures such as
Zeus, Athena, Apollo, Hercules, Achilles, the Amazons, Medusa and
the Minotaur. The entries are supplemented with original
illustration reproductions of scenes from ancient pottery, and
include translations from Ancient Greek epics such as the Iliad,
the Odyssey, the Argonautica and Theogony.
