Arcadian Nights: Gods, Heroes and Monsters from Greek Myth from the winner of the Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction

3.96 (121 ratings by Goodreads)

English

By (author): John Spurling

Ancient as they are, the Greek myths still resonate at the core of our literature and culture, and may well reveal more about human nature and the world we have created than we like to believe.

From the garden of his house in the Peloponnese overlooking the gulf of Argos, award-winning playwright and novelist John Spurling draws on a lifetimes engagement with the classics and with Greek culture to reanimate the characters of Apollo, Herakles, Theseus, Perseus and Agamemnon, along with the gods, demi-gods, monsters and mortals who shaped their destinies. Gripping, spirited and sometimes grisly, Spurlings fresh interpretations of these timeless tales bring both their heroes and their context vividly to life.
