The Greek myths

Book • 2012
The Greek Myths is a mythography written by Robert Graves, which retells the stories of Ancient Greek mythology with detailed interpretations and analyses.

Each myth is presented in the style of a narrator from the Antonine period, with citations from classical sources.

Graves' interpretations are influenced by his theories on prehistoric matriarchal societies and the evolution of Greek mythology.

The book includes his imaginative reconstructions of myths, such as the Pelasgian and Olympian creation myths, and provides historical and cultural context to the stories.
