Bulfinch's Mythology by Thomas Bulfinch (286 pages)
For almost a century and a half, Bulfinch's
Mythology has been the text by which the great tales of the gods
and goddesses, Greek and Roman antiquity; Scandinavian, Celtic,
and Oriental fables and myths; and the age of chivalry have been
known. The stories are divided into three sections: The Age of
Fable or Stories of Gods and Heroes (first published in 1855); The
Age of Chivalry (1858), which contains King Arthur and His
Knights, The Mabinogeon, and The Knights of English History; and
Legends of Charlemagne or Romance of the Middle Ages (1863). For
the Greek myths, Bulfinch drew on Ovid and Virgil, and for the
sagas of the north, from Mallet's Northern Antiquities. He
provides lively versions of the myths of Zeus and Hera, Venus and
Adonis, Daphne and Apollo, and their cohorts on Mount Olympus; the
love story of Pygmalion and Galatea; the legends of the Trojan War
and the epic wanderings of Ulysses and Aeneas; the joys of
Valhalla and the furies of Thor; and the tales of Beowulf and
Robin Hood. The tales are eminently readable. As Bulfinch wrote,
"Without a knowledge of mythology much of the elegant literature
of our own language cannot be understood and appreciated. . . .
Our book is an attempt to solve this problem, by telling the
stories of mythology in such a manner as to make them a source of
amusement." -

Geraldine Pinch - Egyptian Myth (161 pages)
The complex world
of Egyptian myth is clearly illuminated in this fascinating new
approach to ancient Egypt. Geraldine Pinch explores the cultural
and historical background behind a wide variety of sources and
objects, from Cleopatra's Needle and Tutankhamun's golden statue,
to a story on papyrus of the gods misbehaving. What did they mean,
and how have they been interpreted? The reader is taken on an
exciting journey through the distant past, and shown how myths of
deities such as Isis and Osiris influenced contemporary culture
and have become part of our cultural heritage.
