“More than 2,000 years ago, in a time called Antiquity, Greece was one of the most important places in the world. It was home to powerful cities, famous philosophers, poets, and artists. It was the cradle of numerous works of art, buildings, inventions, and customs that influenced the culture of all Europe and that still inspire admiration today. For centuries, Greek myths have fascinated people everywhere. These traditional stories allowed the ancient Greeks to explain the world, its creation and how it worked, the origins of human beings, those of other creatures, and natural phenomena. They also told the story of the gods and their relationships with humans.”
This incredible book immerses the reader in this world and invites them to lose themselves in the labyrinths drawn with precision and great detail by Jan Bajtlik at the height of his art, to relive the journey of Ulysses, to meet the Minotaur and the Cyclops, to abduct the beautiful Helen or to participate in the first Olympic Games.
A large format, very graphic, very detailed book, with clear, didactic explanations, illustrations that are at once funny, intelligent, and clever, which will satisfy all lovers of Antiquity... but not only!
