Voyages in Classical Mythology takes 44 great classical adventure
tales of mythology and exploration and retells them in this
beautifully written volume. Organized by character or traveler's
name, each entry includes a description of the voyager's life,
their journey, alternate versions of the story, symbolism,
cross-references, and a list of ancient sources. Each entry in

readers trace the routes of heroes and deities whose quests took
them to such faraway destinations as Egypt, Sparta, Troy, and the
Black Sea. Tales include some of mythology's greatest moments,
including Daedalus's trip to Crete, his entrapment in the labyrinth
he designed, and the fateful flight back to Italy with his son,
Icarus; Helen's voyage from Greece to Troy and back again; and
Orpheus's journey to the Underworld to retrieve his bride. Voyages
in Classical Mythology also includes a convenient glossary of
relevant terms from Greek and Roman Mythology and a detailed index.
The eloquent text makes the complex themes of classical scholarship
accessible to a wide range of readers. Students and nonspecialists
of any age will thoroughly enjoy these fascinating journeys.
