Loved all three sections but the Legends of Charlemagne was a great ride. ( )

[This book] is a brilliant reconstruction of the traditional myths which form the backbone of Western culture.

Here are the legends of Greece and Rome; here are quarrelsome Jupiter, Juno, and their Olympian companions who adventured amorously among lesser gods and heroes…brought vividly to life by [the author]. His tales of antiquity also include the warlike Norse Gods…heroes of the great Northern lore which is part of Europe’s heritage.

Palmer Bovie provides a historical and interpretative Foreword to [the book] in which he traces the origin and purpose of the great scholar’s work….

Another Bullfinch, focusing on presumably the most popular type of mythology as far as that going, being Greek, or, the Romanised version of the same, anyway.

Pretty much the same as the other, a bit dry and old-fashioned, but a definitely useful reference. ( )

Though it is dated, it still serves as an excellent guide to the basic European Mythology.

An excellent work...one of the obvious classics and an authority in the field of mythology. This book, unlike some works on the subject of mythology, is as interesting as it is informative.
