Pierre Chuvin's work is a treatise on Greek mythology, the first of its kind in over half a century. It offers a continuous narration of the legends from the first man to the death of Heracles. It reconstructs their successive faces and reestablishes their sequence. It brings famous figures back to life and gives voice, through new and unpublished translations, to the poets, thinkers, and historians who created and interpreted them. This work is intended as much for the instruction as for the pleasure of the reader.
