Including lots of the greatest stories ever before advised - the labours of Hercules, the voyage of the Argonauts, Theseus and the minotaur, Midas and his golden touch, the Trojan Conflict and Odysseus's voyage home - Robert Graves's superb and comprehensive retelling of the Greek misconceptions for a modern audience has been regarded for over fifty years as the definitive version. Having a novelist's skill and a poet's attention, Graves attracts on the whole canon of historic literature, combining all the components of every myth into one epic and unforgettable story. Ideal for the first-time reader, it is similarly valuable for anyone seeking an authoritative and in depth bank account of the gods, heroes and amazing events offering the bedrock of Traditional western literature. The effect is a vintage among classics, a treasure trove of amazing stories and a masterful work of books in its right. Robert von Ranke Graves (24 July 1895 - 7 Dec 1985) was an English poet and novelist, scholar, translator and author of antiquity, specialising in Classical Greece and Rome. During his extended life he produced more than 140 works. Graves's translations and impressive research and interpretations of the Greek misconceptions, the memoir of his early life, Good-bye to all That, and his speculative analysis of poetic enthusiasm, The White Goddess, have never been out of print. Graves gained his living by writing popular historical novels, including I, Claudius (for which he was granted the Adam Tait Black colored Memorial Award), Ruler Jesus, The Golden Fleece and Count up Belisarius. He was elected Teacher of Poetry at Oxford in 1961 and made an honorary fellow of St John's University, Oxford, in 1971.
