Beyond the entertaining tales of gods and heros, mythology is the reworded history of a culture and a people. How and why did the myths evolve as they did? What do we learn about the poeple whose myths they were? Classical Mythology explores those questions as well as comparing the tales and characters of neighboring mythologies. At least one classroom copy of this book is a must for an advanced class that wants a full exploration of the mythologies that have impacted so much of our own culture.
