- Features essays from a prestigious international team of literary experts
- Includes coverage of Greek myth’s intersection with history, philosophy and religion
- Introduces readers to topics in mythology that are often inaccessible to non-specialists
- Addresses the Hellenistic and Roman periods as well as Archaic and Classical Greece
