Without a knowledge of mythology much of the elegant literature of our own language cannot be understood and appreciated. —Introduction

The Age of Fable

Or Beauties of Mythology

Thomas Bulfinch

Written to “teach mythology not as a study but as a relaxation from study,” these ageless volumes span the ages: from the Olympus of Zeus and the Valhalla of Thor, to the Round Table of King Arthur and the escapades of Robin Hood.
