"We hope to teach Mythology not as a study, but as a relaxation from study; and to give our work the charm of a story book." --Thomas Bulfinch

A wonderful retelling of the stories of Ovid and Virgil, carefully retaining the poetic imagery while bringing a new clarity to each myth.

In 1847 Thomas Bulfinch, a young American scholar, published a collection of mythologies entitled Stories of Gods and Heroes. He wished it to be an easily comprehensible retelling of the myths of Ancient Greece and Rome that would be accessible to and enjoyed by young and old readers alike. Bulfinch retold the stories of Ovid and Virgil, carefully retaining the poetic imagery while bringing a new clarity to each myth.
