A retelling of some classic Greek myths for younger readers.

"Myths of Greece and Rome" is a complete story of the Greek pantheon made by one of the most prominent classicists, Jane Harrison. By presenting the main Greek gods, Harrison tries to go way back to the past and trace the roots of the ancient Greek belief in the time before they even lived in Europe. She argues that the Greek goddesses emerged from native Pelasgian tutelary spirits, and much of the male pantheon was imposed by Indo-Europeans._x000D_ Contents_x000D_ The Gods of Homer's Olympus_x000D_ Zeus (Jove, Jupiter)_x000D_ Hera_x000D_ Athena (Minerva)_x000D_ Aphrodite (Venus)_x000D_ Artemis (Diana)_x000D_ Apollo (Phœbus)_x000D_ Ares (Mars)_x000D_ Hermes (Mercury)_x000D_ Poseidon (Neptune)_x000D_ The Mother of the Gods_x000D_ Demeter and Persephone (Ceres and Proserpine)_x000D_ Dionysos_x000D_ Eros
