THE FOLIO SOCIETY

For a full appreciation of literature or visual art, a knowledge of the Greek myths is crucial.

In an encyclopedic compilation, Robert Graves tells these compelling stories with scholarship and flair. Ariadne and the Minotaur, Demeter mourning her daughter Persephone and creating the seasons, Icarus flying too near the sun . . . this is both an invaluable reference book set and a magical point of entry into the minds of those who lived so many centuries ago.
