Born into a Massachusetts family in 1796, Thomas Bulfinch's Mythology has long remained a classic text upon the subject. Orignally published as three volumes: The Age of Fable, The Age of Chivalry and Legends of Charlemagne, his retellings span time and the globe. He not only restates the myths with a vivid, literary voice, but also points out the connections between mythology and the then-current 19th century literature and art. 862 pages, indexed, softcover.
