An Italian author wrote a version of the Illiad with the main, human characters, leaving out the gods and goddesses. I will look it up tomorrow. It was very popular and was read out loud on the radio. People would plan their lunch around the reading.
Robert Graves did a two volume set, Edith Hamilton did one and coming out in the fall is another by Stephen Fry; he spoke about it at the Hay on Wye book festival this week. And of course the classical authors are a standard reference as well.
I love reading mythology books.
Oh me!
I have a 1st edition copy of Edith Hamilton. ?
I think I’ve read almost anything related to greek/roman mythos
Has anyone read Juvinal Roman author.
Me! We’ve studied Greek Mythology last semester ?
Got beaucoup mythology books
Haven’t read Hamilton but read Homer, Sophocles and Herodotus in college.
Minored in Classics in university. I haven’t read anything in a while, but I’m tempted to re-read Homer and Virgil.
I did…
My son has an entire 5 shelf bookshelf dedicated to Mythology books! It is his passion. He just graduated with a bachelor’s in history!

I’m Greek, so of course I do, there’s not a myth I don’t know. But I love reading about other mythologies too 🙂

You can try INDIAN MYTHOLOGY. There are many similarities.
Cool

I read them and study them,at times and sometimes other myths too
Thinking of buying The Antigoddess by Kendare Blake but I’m not sure❤️I’ve read her other book- Three Dark Crown’s- and liked it x
