"For centuries people have spoken of the Greek Myths as something to be rediscovered, re-awoken. The truth is it is the myths that are still out there waiting to wake us and be seen by us, like a tree waiting to greet our newly opened eyes."
I'm so angry that it's take me this long to find this glorious book! Myths, tales of gods, heroes and monsters effortlessly woven together with beautiful and elegant writing. Taking a look at the stories from each and every direction I quickly became obsessed with this book.
