Now in its 8th edition, this magisterial work offers a comprehensive survey of the stories of Greek myth, from the Olympian gods, through the lesser gods and deities, to the heroes, adventures, and foundation myths of the ancient Greek world. The Routledge Handbook of Greek Mythology sets out to provide a comprehensive history of the divine order and mythical prehistory of Greece, as systematised on a genealogical basis by Hesiod and the ancient mythographers, while also taking into account the ways in which individual myths changed and evolved over time in different genres of literature.
