GREEK MYTHS/ GUSTAV SCHWAB

This was an objectionable formation; it described an entrance into a world of majesty with gods, greatness with heroes, and bloodcurdling nightmares with monsters in Greek Myths by Gustav Schwab, an excellent retelling of old-world mythological tales of Greece. The gateway leads to an amazing world where destiny chooses and valor clashes with betrayal under divine decree, very neatly organized and retold by one of the finest minds in classical literature.

Readers travel through epic deeds and eternal questions in the life pages that have guided many generations through time. From the valors of Perseus to the trials of Hercules to the tragic tale of Oedipus to the poignant love of Orpheus and Eurydice, Schwab gives a straightforward and respectful rendition of each story, preserving the mythic essence, while laying it bare for modern readers. Schwab preserves the scholarly tone with modern eloquence and dramatic charm of the ancient stories.

This volume not only becomes a great introduction to Greek mythology, but it also allows the reader to reflect on a cultural lens to see how much of an impact these myths have had on literature, philosophy, and the visual arts, and also into modern narratives. A must for students, classicists, and anyone with a passion for whatever philosophically or poetically intrigues about Greece.

Beautifully produced by Taschen, this small edition is given into the hands of collectors, mythology lovers, and readers eager to track the archetypes and moral themes that still inform modern culture.
