The Greek Myths Synopsis
The Greek Myths is a compendium of Greek mythology, with comments and analyses, by the poet and writer Robert Graves.
Each myth is presented in the voice of a narrator writing under the Antonines, such as Plutarch or Pausanias, with citations of the classical sources. Following each retelling, Graves presents his interpretation of its origin and significance.
