Bulfinch's Mythology

Thomas Bulfinch was an 18th-century amateur historian who researched and cross-referenced ancient myths and legends with literature and art. For almost a century and a half, BULFINCH'S MYTHOLOGY has been the text by which these great tales of gods, goddesses, and heroes have been known. Often used as a text by students, the book is an indispensable guide to cultural values of the past.
