*The definitive and comprehensive edition of Robert Graves's classic retelling of the Greek myths*

'Icarus disobeyed his father's instructions and began soaring towards the sun, rejoiced by the lift of his great sweeping wings. Presently, when Daedalus looked over his shoulder, he could no longer see Icarus; but scattered feathers floated on the waves below...'

These are the greatest stories ever told - the labours of Hercules, the voyage of the Argonauts, Theseus and the minotaur, Midas and his golden touch, the Trojan War and Odysseus's journey home - brought together into one epic and unforgettable story.

Ideal for the first time reader, it can be read as a single page-turning narrative, while full commentaries as well as a comprehensive index of names make it equally valuable for anyone seeking an authoritative and detailed account of the spectacular stories that make up the bedrock of Western literature.

The Greek Mythsis a classic among classics, a treasure trove of extraordinary tales and a masterful work of literature in its own right.

*罗伯特-格雷夫斯对希腊神话的经典重述的权威和全面版本*。

伊卡洛斯违背了他父亲的指示，开始向太阳翱翔，并为他那巨大的掠夺性翅膀的升起而感到高兴。现在，当戴德鲁斯从他的肩膀上看过去时，他再也看不到伊卡洛斯了；但散落的羽毛漂浮在下面的波浪上......

这些都是有史以来最伟大的故事--海格力斯的劳作、阿戈纳特人的航行、特修斯和牛头人、米达斯和他的金手指、特洛伊战争和奥德修斯的回家之旅--汇集成一个史诗般的、令人难忘的故事。

该书是第一次阅读的人的理想选择，它可以作为一个单一的翻页叙事来阅读，而完整的评论以及全面的人名索引使它对任何寻求对构成西方文学基石的壮观故事进行权威和详细描述的人来说同样有价值。

希腊神话》是经典中的经典，是非凡故事的宝库，其本身就是一部杰出的文学作品。
