«La mythologie : ses dieux, ses héros, ses légendes» is Edith Hamilton's mythology work, published by Marabout in paperback (414 pages, in French).
Edith Hamilton recovers the great Greek and Roman myths from their classical sources (Homer, Hesiod, Pindar and Ovid) and presents them as living stories: Orpheus and Eurydice, the labours of Hercules, the challenge of Icarus, Tantalus and Niobe, or Theseus's descent into the underworld.
La mythologie was originally published in English in 1942 as «Mythology: Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes»; this French edition is a translation by Abeth de Beughem and includes an index.
Intended for students and for those seeking a clear, comprehensive introduction to Greco-Roman mythology.
Edith Hamilton was an American educator and internationally known author who was one of the most renowned classicists of her era in the United States. A graduate of Bryn Mawr College, she also studied in Germany at Leipzig University and the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München. Hamilton began her career as an educator and head of the Bryn Mawr School, a private college preparatory school for girls in Baltimore, Maryland; however, Hamilton is best known for her essays and best-selling books on ancient Greek and Roman civilizations.
