Whether you’re already well versed in the lore, or are discovering these tales for the first time, this handbook is your ultimate companion to the characters from Greek myth. Informed by sources ranging from Homer and Hesiod’s poetry to Athenian drama, and from 5th century BCE Greek vases to Roman statues, bestselling author and classicist Caroline Lawrence provides insightful profiles for each god, demigod, hero and monster. Learn the origin stories and best-known myths of each deity, as well as their attributes and how to identify them in art.”

This fully illustrated compendium of the Greek gods and goddesses features over 60 vibrant illustrations of characters and artefacts of ancient mythology along insights from Caroline Lawrence into the deities, heroes, and mortals that made up the ancient Greek mythological world.

I would like to thank Octopus Publishing Group for bringing me onto this project, and the teams enthusiasm for including my Roman god bust series in the book.
