Tales of the Greek Heroes: Retold from the Ancient Authors

This is a connected retelling of Greek heroic myth for younger readers, assembled from Homer, Hesiod, the tragedians, and later compilers. Green begins with the rise of the Olympian gods, then follows Perseus, Heracles and his labours, Theseus, the Argonauts, and the generation that fights at Troy. The narrative keeps the main exploits, monsters, and family curses in a single sequence rather than as isolated school extracts. The book is a myth cycle in modern prose, not a translation of any one ancient poem and not a handbook of classical religion.
