Ancient names come to rich and fascinating life in this lavishly
illustrated gift book for mythology fans and word lovers.Did you
know that "museums" were initially temples built to worship the
nine muses, the goddesses of the arts? That "Janus" was the god of
the doorways and hallways, and we have named our janitors after
him?
Where did these words -- and other words, such as chaos, genius,
nemesis, panic, echo, and narcissus -- come from? From the ancient
stories of the Greeks -- stories that rang so true and wise that
the names of the characters have survived for centuries as words we
use every day. The brief stories here not only impart the subtle
wisdom of these ancient tales, but make us understand the words,
and our own world, more deeply.
