An easily understood reference guide to the deities of Greek and
Roman mythology. Stories of Gods and Heroes, originally published
in 1855, is the first of three works that make up Bulfinch's
Mythology, by Thomas Bulfinch. A useful and concise guide to the
gods and goddesses of Greek and Roman mythology, this text was used
in history classrooms for over a century. Bulfinch's writing is an
attempt to expand the enjoyment of classic literature for the
common reader, explaining the allusions made to mythology in so
many other titles of the day.
Legendary tales of myth and romance written so everyone can enjoy
the stories! Can't keep all your gods and goddesses straight?
Wondering about mythological references in classic literature?
Bulfinch's Mythology offers approachable accounts of ancient
legends in a compilation of the works of Thomas Bulfinch, banker
and Latinist. This volume includes all three of Bulfinch's original
titles: The Age of Fable, The Age of Chivalry, and The Legends of
Charlemagne. Bulfinch states his purpose for the book clearly: "Our
work is not for the learned, nor for the theologian, nor for the
philosopher, but for the reader of English literature...who wishes
to comprehend the allusions so frequently made by public speakers,
lecturers, essayists, and poets, and those which occur in polite
conversation." This compilation was widely used as the
authoritative text on mythology in schools for over a century.
