Myths of Ancient Greece

This book brings together the most popular ancient Greek myths, retold by the remarkable Russian historian Nikolai Albertovich Kun (1877–1940). Ancient Greek mythology not only lies at the foundation of modern civilization but also permeates all of European culture and has even entered our everyday life with such idioms as «Olympian calm», «Sisyphean labor», «Achilles' heel», «Trojan horse», «Scylla and Charybdis» and others.
This edition will help young readers understand the complex hierarchy of characters in these stories – gods, heroes, titans – and experience exciting adventures together with them.
