This book is a treasure-trove. It will be hugely useful to instructors teaching any level of mythology course. Not only does it provide, under one cover, good translations of the two complete books essential to every course ("Theogony"; "Homeric Hymns"), it also offers hundreds of pages of additional primary material . . . . No other book in English offers such a wide range of well-translated and important sources. This will be the perfect complement to courses in myth and ancient civilization, making exploration of the mythic heritage richer and more intellectually exciting for all. . . . The quality of translation is universally high--passages are simple, direct, accurate, yet preserve (as the editors wished) a good sense of the native stylistic variations found in the range of excerpts. --Richard Martin, Stanford University
I am astonished by the simplicity of the idea, and, at the same time, the complexity of the effort, that joined to produce this outstanding work. . . the organization is impeccable and the selection is provocative. This new volume will allow instructors to encourage students to explore the dynamic nature of mythology as a whole, as well as specific myths and mythological themes, across the spectrum of ancient authors, genres, and time periods. . . . I believe this volume will be an invaluable contribution to way we teach Classical myth at the university level. --Monica Cyrino, University of New Mexico
"Anthology of Classical Myth" is an elegant book and a welcome addition to the field of college level classical mythology textbooks. It offers, in a purposeful and orderly manner, a considerable amount of otherwise not readily available material, maintaining a tone of cultivated but lively and personally engaged learning throughout. . . . The choice of texts is what makes this anthology unique and really interesting. --Celica Milovanovic, "The Classical Outlook"
