Author Description

Robert Graves's two great works of mythography are published together for the first time in this limited edition. The Greek Myths is among his most popular works, compendious in scope and lively in the telling. The Hebrew Myths has long been out of print. It is a book of comparable range and vision to the Greek. No poet of the 20th century, not even Ezra Pound was so compendiously learned as Graves in the origins of our Mediterranean cultures. While his approach to myth is original and sometimes contentious, his narrative is compelling.
