The apple of contention, the wheel of fortune, panic fear - our everyday language is saturated with mythology, and we use so many words and expressions with links to the period that we already forget about their true meaning. This book is an exhaustive and fascinating reference book with hundreds of fascinating definitions of the main and secondary characters, creatures and places of classical mythology. Annette Gizke is the author of the book, Doctor of Philosophy, Professor and Head of the Department of Ancient Greek and Roman research at Delaware University, its brilliant book offers the exact explanations of each character and region and fully reflects the essence of these undying legends.
From the gods and goddesses Olympus and the heroes of the Trojan War to the nymph, monsters and other mythical creatures inhabiting these ancient stories, the author with clarity and energy shares all the details and nuances. Each definition includes cross -references to related characters, places and myths, as well as their equivalents in Roman mythology and culture.
This book is perfectly supplemented and illustrated by the bright drawings of the artist Jim Tirnie
