Landscapes of the Greek Myths - Paperback

by Allan Brooks (Author)

The Greek Myths described the ancient Greeks' beliefs about their history, their ancestry and their gods. The myths were rooted in a real world, a compact physical environment of inhospitable, rugged mountains separating small agricultural plains that occupy what is now southern and central Greece. This book is an exploration of that landscape and brings the myths and their settings together in a format designed for the independent traveller.
