Purchase options and add-ons

Now in its eighth edition, this magisterial work offers a comprehensive survey of the stories of Greek myth, from the Olympian gods, through the lesser gods and deities, to the heroes, adventures, and foundation myths of the ancient Greek world.

The Routledge Handbook of Greek Mythology sets out to provide a comprehensive history of the divine order and mythical prehistory of Greece, as systematized on a genealogical basis by Hesiod and the ancient mythographers, while also taking into account the ways in which individual myths have changed and evolved over time in different genres of literature. This new edition has been extensively rewritten and reorganized to make it more accessible to readers who may have no particular knowledge of the ancient world and Greek mythology, and to ensure that information on each myth or mythical figure is easy to find within the book.

This new edition of the handbook continues to offer an essential reference resource for all students of Greek mythology, and it provides an accessible and comprehensive overview of these stories for anyone with an interest in the classical world.

Editorial Reviews

Review

'The new Routledge Handbook of Greek Mythology retains all the acclaimed virtues of the 2004 edition, a completely rewritten and meticulously updated version of H.J. Rose’s time-tested compendium. But this latest version provides an even more useful tool: Robin Hard has totally reorganized the earlier presentation of the often-complex stories about gods and heroes, more lucidly streamlining and sequencing the material, highlighting interconnections, and drawing attention to such matters as ancient cosmology and cult. The result is a fresh, clear narrative, featuring a strong story line while also attuned to curious lesser-known variants. An ideally accessible reference work, it can also be read straight through, with pleasure'.

Richard Martin, Stanford University, USA

About the Author

Robin Hard has published translations of the Library of Apollodorus, the only surviving comprehensive ancient handbook of Greek mythology, and of treatises on astral mythology and various philosophical works.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Good Book

I haven't read the other editions, only this one, but it does a very detailed job of outline Greek Mythology in a digestible way. If you can afford it, then I suggest the Hardcover Version, the paperback is nice, but I can tell, it will get a lot of mileage.

2.0 out of 5 stars If you’re getting a paperback, seek it elsewhere.

This is a fantastic book, but it is unfortunately let down by its printing. If you order it through Amazon they handle the printing themselves, doing it on demand. This means that the print itself is of poor quality, and so is the paper. In the edition they sent me the direction of the grain changes halfway through the book, meaning it has a permanent opening as the pages do not all sit flush, along with the binding itself being of poor quality.

If you want a reference work covering Greek Mythology, get this book, but do not order it through Amazon.
