Mythology was inextricably interwoven with the entire fabric of their public and private lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book discusses not only the purely fictional myths, fairy-tales and folk-tales but the sagas and legends which have some historical grounding.

Michael Grant re-tells these marvellous tales, and then explores the different ways in which they have appeared throughout literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e It is an inspiring study, filled with quotations from literary sources, which gives the reader a fascinating exposition of ancient culture as well as an understanding of how vital the classical world has been in shaping the western culture of today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Orion Publishing Group, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47172570513648,"sku":"9781780222790","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781780222790_p0.jpg?v=1763711614","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781780222790","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
