Classical Mythology by Helen Morales
A Very Short Introduction
This concise guide explores Greek and Roman myths as living narratives, explaining how they informed ancient religion, politics, and daily life and why they still shape modern culture. It surveys gods, heroes, and rituals; unpacks themes of power, gender, sexuality, and identity; and traces reinterpretations from classical literature to psychoanalysis, advertising, and film. Emphasizing myth’s adaptability and influence, it equips readers with critical tools to analyze and rethink familiar stories.
