Bulfinch’s Mythology

Bulfinch's Mythology, first published in three volumes between 1855 and 1863, serves as a comprehensive source for classic tales from ancient Greece, Rome, and beyond. This edition features The Age of Fable, or Stories of Gods and Heroes, which includes narratives of Greek gods, retellings of the Iliad and Odyssey, and accounts of mythological monsters, Hindu, and Egyptian deities. With insightful literary interpretations and the origins of proverbial expressions tied to these myths, this work is both an essential reference for literature students and a vibrant collection of our cultural heritage.
