Greek Gods and Heroes | 
so-soAn easy collection of myth stories, a la Edith Hamilton, but much of this conflicts with other versions (like, ALL versions) I‘m familiar with - and I‘m not new to this game. For instance, Athena was found wandering as a child and Zeus just decided to claim her and made up the head-springing story, but Poseidon also tried to claim parentage? Um, that‘s different. It was worth the $.25 I paid for it.
Clare-Dragonfly Wow. Very strange. I‘ve thought of Graves as one of the big names in Greek mythology for English readers. 🤔 And inconsistent mythology is one thing (of course there wil be different stories over many years) but trying to make it fit with the known myth by saying Zeus made up that story? So weird. 4y
ravenlee @Clare-Dragonfly right? This is from 1960. I need to check the vintage on his other works (I have a few on my shelves but haven‘t read them). Maybe there‘s an evolution? 4y
