In this engrossing retelling of Greek myth, Jean-Pierre Vernant
combines his profound knowledge of the subject with brilliant and
original story-telling. Beginning with the creation of Earth out of
Chaos, Vernant continues with the castration of Uranus, the war
between the Titans and the gods of Olympus, the wily ruses of
Prometheus and Zeus, and the creation of Pandora, the first woman.
His narrative takes us from the Trojan War to the voyage of
Odysseus, from the story of Dionysus to the terrible destiny of
Oedipus and to Perseus's confrontation with the Gorgons.
Jean-Pierre Vernant has devoted himself to the study of Greek
mythology. In recounting these tales, he unravels for us their
multiple meanings and brings to life cherished figures of legend
whose stories lie at the origin of our civilization.
