Classical Mythology

“It will help to orient those studying Classics and other courses on the ancient world, especially mythology, but students of English and other European literatures will also find assistance here…. Hansen is himself an expert storyteller, and his accounts of individual myths are always a pleasure to read…. The publishers have taken care to produce a reliable and accessible Guide at a price within the reach of virtually every undergraduate. This is no meanfeat.” – Bryn Mawr Classical Review

William Hansen is Professor Emeritus of Classical Studies & Folklore at Indiana University, Bloomington. Along with the present work, his books include Phlegon of Tralles’ Book of Marvels (1996), Anthology of Ancient Greek Popular Literature (1998), Ariadne’s Thread: A Guide to International Tales Found in Classical Literature (2002), and The Book of Greek and Roman Folktales, Legends, and Myths (2017).
