A Periodic Table of Greek Mythology - by Working Classicists (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Greek mythology is simply swarming with strange and wonderful characters: mortals, gods, demigods, nymphs and monsters; so many, in fact, that it can be tricky to recall who is who exactly. A Periodic Table of Greek Mythology offers a one-stop compendium of more than a hundred of these characters. This guide organises the population of Greek myth by category, with each page offering a description which includes their myths, powers, and relationships. Each element in the table is accompanied by an illuminating description, delving into their mythological origins, key stories, and significance in Greek culture. Featuring beautiful vintage imagery and a completely new Periodic Table illustration by Cora-Beth Fraser, whether you're an experienced scholar or a curious newcomer, this book provides a fresh perspective on the rich and complex world of Greek mythology.
