Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Some of the oldest and most famous stories in the world -- the adventures of Perseus, the labors of Hercules, the voyage of Jason and the Argonauts -- are vividly retold in this single connected narrative of the Heroic Age, from the coming of the Immortals to the fall of Troy. With fresh dialogue and a brisk pace, the nineteen myths of this version are enthrallingly vivid. Copyright © Libri GmbH. All rights reserved.
Author notes provided by Syndetics
Roger Lancelyn Green was born in England in 1918, where his family has lived for more than 900 years. He was often sick as a child and spent long periods confined to his room devouring Greek myths, medieval romances, and fairy tales.Green began a lifelong fascination with Greece and Greek culture when he first visited that country in 1935. He went on to compile and retell many Greek stories, including "Old Greek Fairy Tales," and "Jason and the Golden Fleece." Green also wrote his own stories, but he is better known for his retellings of folk tales from around the world.
Roger Lancelyn Green died in 1987
